Day 6

What do you do when heaven seems silent? Do you get scared? Do you worry? Do you get angry? Do you give up? Or do you take matters into your own hands? As a believer, having questions is a natural part of our life experience. However, how we respond to heaven’s silence may be an indicator of our maturity and our faith in God. Sometimes we can’t hear God’s voice because what we really want is just too loud. If our true desire is to please God, we must continue to seek God’s will even when it seems that we can’t hear God’s voice. We must remind ourselves that Psalm 46:10 tells us to, “Be still and know that I am God.” When the direction we should take isn’t obvious, let’s “get still.” Being still isn’t a passive act, it’s a posture we take anticipating that God will speak when we really listen. We must remain open to God speaking in ways that are not conventional or obvious. Let’s pray & continue to talk with God. Let’s read our bibles to become better Christians. Let’s wait on God and accept God’s invitation to the journey of understanding. Lastly, let’s remember what God has already said so that we can be reminded that God is always speaking.

PRAYER

God, thank you for always speaking. Help us quiet the loud desires of our heart, so that we may hear Your voice.

JOURNAL REFLECTION

When heaven feels silent, how do you usually respond—fear, worry, anger, or action? What might it look like to “be still” and listen, trusting that God is speaking in ways you may not expect? Reflect on ways you can remain open, patient, and attentive to God’s voice in your daily life.
