When griping grief the heart doth wound,
and doleful dumps the mind opresses,
then music, with her silver sound,
with speedy help doth lend redress.
-William Shakespeare
Silence of God
There will be times when God is unavailable.
I might raise a few eyebrows here and there with that statement, but it's true. You can almost hear Him say to you, "Handle it yourself".
And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care if we perish?" And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you no faith?"
Mark 4:37-40
Jesus was asleep when His disciples were in trouble, and the "cushion" suggests a level of comfort that Jesus was in. God sleeps when you're in trouble. Well, it's not so much that He doesn't bother Himself with your problems. Oh yes, He's still there, but it's just that He's SILENT. He doesn't like spoon-feeding, and expects you to get out of trouble, by having FAITH in Him.
Faith, is the capability to overcome any obstacle, and that amount of confidence and trust, is given to you, by God. Anything that appears in front of us, we can overcome by keeping faith, in Him.
I believe there is nothing God will give us that we cannot handle, because with Him, we move mountains. It is said that we should pray as if everything depended on God, but handle problems as if everything depended on us. Don't wake Him up, asking to be rescued and expect the road to be smooth. I can imagine Him bellowing in an authoritive voice, "Have you no faith?" Instead, pray and call upon His strength, and say, "I can do it."
Faith, is to trust.
But be still, for He is still the God of all comfort, and the God of mercies. He will comfort you through your tough times, and catch you when you fall.
Sometimes, we shouldn't just rely on Him, but rely on the faith that He has given.
"A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps."
Proverbs 16:9
