Blood Of Christ ā¤ļø
Covered. Cleansed. Redeemed. Through His sacrifice, we are made right, not by our works, but by His grace. The blood He shed speaks mercy over every mistake and gives us new life.

|~| The Silence of GodĀ Ā |~|
What we see as Godās silence does not mean a loss of absence
How many of you have sent a message to a friend and watched it sit on āDeliviered for hours?Ā
No response
No explanation
Just silence.
And after a while, your mind starts to fill in the blanks.
Ā āDid I say something wrong?ā
Ā āAre they ignoring me?āĀ
Ā āDid I mess this up?ā
If we are honest, thats how some of us feel about God.
You prayed⦠you asked for direction⦠you needed clarity⦠And all you got back was silence.
You start to wonder, āGod, are you ignoring me?ā āDid I do something wrong?ā āAre You even there?ā
But here is the big truth that I want you to leave here today with.
Godās silence is not Godās absense.
1 Kings 19:11-12 ~Ā
āAnd he said, āGo out and stand on the mount before the Lord.ā And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.ā
In this passage, Elijah is exhausted. He is scared. He feels alone. To give a little back story He is currently on the run after Jezebel sent him a letter saying that she would kill him before tomorrow, so he runs in fear up to a cave on a mountain.Ā
We see that God tells him to stand on the mountain.
A violent wind tears through the mountains.Ā
But, God wasnāt in the wind.
The earth shakes.Ā
But, God wasnāt in the earthquake.
Fire falls.
But, God wasnāt in the fire.
Then.. a whisper.
Not dramatic, loud, or overwhelming like Elijah was expecting. A whisper. Elijah expected God in the spectacular. But God spoke in the stillness.
Sometimes we expect God to shout, but He chooses to whisper. And, if he whispers, that means he is close.
Letās look at the gap between the OT and the NT. 400 years where not prophet spoke on behalf of God. 400 years. No new word. No miracles recorded. Nothing.
Then all of the sudden Jesus shows up. The silence wasnāt abandonment, it was preperation. God wasnāt absent, He was setting the stage. Some of you are in a season that feels quiet. But the season are often preparation seasons. Jus because God is quiet, doesnāt mean that he is gone.
But, what if God isnāt silent. What if weāre just too loud. Too distracted.Ā
When you call your best friend, you donāt talk for 10 minutes straight and then hang up. A relationship requires listening, not just speaking.
Ā So when we pray, do we actually leave space for God to respond? Or do we just treat Him like a spiritual vending machine?
Put in the request.
Wait for blessing.
Walk away.
Are we opening our Bible daily, or are we letting social media become our āBibleā?Ā
Are we discipled by Jesus, or our algorithm
So tonight, instead of asking, āGod, why are You silent?ā Maybe we should ask, āGod, what do I need to turn down so I can hear you?ā
Because Godās silence is not his absense. Sometimes itās an invitation.Ā
An invitation to slow down.Ā
To lean in.Ā
To listen closer.
Because the same God who whispered to Elijah, the same God who was working in the 400 years, is still speaking today.
The question isnāt whether God speaks. The question is are we listening?
If God whispers, its not because He is far away. Itās because Heās closer than you think.
|~| Obedience |~|
1 Samuel 15:22 (CSB) -
"Then Samuel said:
Does theĀ LordĀ take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying theĀ Lord? Look: to obey is better than sacrifice, to pay attention is better than the fat of rams."
In this verse, God says that God delights in obedience more than he does offerings. Are you obeying God? All of us, despite what we may think, are all falling short.
Today, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal that place in out life, convict us of that place in our life, and guide us on how to fix this place in our life.
Lord, we come before You today, offering our lives as a living sacrifice. But more than that, we are asking You to help us better our obedience. Whether that be us taking a step in the direction you are pointing us in, or ridding of the weeds in the garden of our life, help us today. God, we ask that You would reveal, convict, and guide us today in growing closer in a relationship with You. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen!
Ā |~| Held When My Heart Is Bitter |~|
ScriptureĀ āĀ Ā Psalms 73:21-23Ā (ESV)Ā
ā21Ā When my soul was embittered,Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā when I was pricked in heart,Ā 22Ā I wasĀ brutish and ignorant;Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā I was likeĀ a beast toward you.Ā
23Ā Nevertheless, I am continually with you;Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā youĀ hold my right hand.āĀ
DevotionalĀ āĀ
There are moments when I do not enjoy what is going on around me. Sometimes so much so that my heart becomes a little harder each time.Ā IĀ IĀ question why God allows certain things, then I remember Psalm 73, and see that Godās people have always wrestled with these problems.Ā
To give a little background to this Psalm, theĀ psalmistĀ AsaphĀ was struggling with envy over the prosperity of the wicked.Ā So, in these verses, he is admitting how foolish he was, even admitting behaving like a beast towards God. He is honest with God, not just with his behavior, but also with his heart posture. Despite Asaph behaving so hatefully towards God, He never left his side. God stayed close and held his hand. So, even when our heart is so bitter, God is still faithful.Ā
This should remind us that our relationship with GodĀ isnātĀ based on how well we manage our emotions. Even when our lives feel like a jumbled-up mess, even when weĀ donātĀ understand, GodĀ remainsĀ nearby. HeĀ doesnātĀ wait for us to gather ourselves before offering His hand out to us; before embracing us like we are. God meets us where weĀ are butĀ doesnātĀ leave us how we are. What a blessing this is!Ā
Key Takeaway -Ā Ā
EvenĀ whenĀ our heart grows bitter; weĀ donātĀ need to run from God but to Him.Ā
Prayer -Ā
God, when my heart is frustrated or confused, help me remember that You are still holding me. Thank You for staying close even when my faith feels weak. Amen.Ā
