Episode 1184 - Jarvis Kingston Pray for trust in God’s timing and for the patience to wait faithfully for His purpose to unfold. Prayers Up

Your Daily Prayer 🙏🏾 Philippians 2:5-7 God’s silence is never absent He works in the quiet to prepare for something greater. Today, make firm plans to volunteer to help the needy this month. Inspired by Galatians 6:2 Today’s daily devotional reflects on the "silent years" between the Old and New Testaments, a time when God’s voice seemed absent. For 400 years, there were no new prophets, no miracles recorded, and no direct revelations from God. Yet, this silence was not inactivity—it was preparation. STORY Bible in a Year: Rise of the Emperor Scripture Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. Philippians 2:5-7 Have you ever felt like God was silent, leaving you wondering if He’s still working? The 400 years between the Old and New Testaments were marked by silence, yet history reveals that God was preparing the world for the arrival of His Son. The Persian, Greek, and Roman empires rose, shaping a world connected by roads, languages, and systems that would later spread the Gospel. Even in silence, God’s hand was moving, setting the stage for Jesus, who would take on the form of a servant and bring salvation to all. Philippians 2:5-7 reminds us that Jesus, the King of Kings, came not in grandeur but in humility, fulfilling God’s plan in a way no one expected. Are you in a season of waiting or silence? Trust that God is still at work, preparing your heart and circumstances for His purpose. His timing is perfect, and His plans are always greater than we can imagine. REFLECTION Consider times in your life when God seemed silent. The story of the 400 years reminds us that silence does not mean absence; it often means preparation. Pray for trust in God’s timing and for the patience to wait faithfully for His purpose to unfold. Today, ask Him to help you see His hand at work, even in seasons of quiet, knowing that He is always preparing something greater. PRAYER “Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.” PHILIPPIANS 2:5-7 Dear Lord,We are in awe of the gift of You, who left the splendor of heaven to be born in a humble manger. May Your selfless love and humility inspire us to live lives of compassion, kindness, and self-sacrifice. As we celebrate Your birth, our Savior, help us to embrace the spirit of giving, not just in presents but in presence, offering our time, love, and empathy to those around us.
