Defintion: Verb: Cause to become silent; prohibit or prevent from speaking
Just like I mentioned in my other blogs…. This word is what I’m currently walking through with my relationship with the Lord. At times it can be hard to hear nothing and see no fruit, but if I look for it, it can be beautiful. At first obviously it was annoying spending purposeful time with him and hearing nothing but silence from him. And I went through a month of that happening and I was getting pissed at God and myself. It was a month full of confusion, yelling, slapping (walls), and cyring. I was lost and for some reason with this lack of communication I felt unworthy of him. Why I felt like that I have no idea… it was a low. BUT NOW I have found beauty in his silence and in silence in general. Yesterday for some reason I felt like I should spend today in complete silence… not talking to anyone for the whole day and spending time with the Lord. So that’s what I did… Starting at 10 and ending at 8, I didn’t speak a word to anybody, and I spent the day reading and praying. IT WAS AMAZING! I found so so so much peace and closure with where Im at right now… I found out how to find joy in my valley. I encourage any of you to try this, find a day where you don’t have to leave or go anywhere and spend the day in silence and in rest with the Lord.
