Silence Is Not Innocence

You know, people often push away the Word of God. When truth is revealed gently and clearly, it is the pause that reveals our hearts. A man hesitates because he knows that something is not right. He may wish it were right, but he feels his needs are met where he is. Although deep inside, he knows that it is not what God has ordained for his life. This same thing is true spiritually. People know instinctively when something is not God; they know when they have already left Him in their hearts. Silence is not innocence; it is avoidance. Conviction is resisted because surrender feels too costly. But to hesitate when God speaks is already to begin to drift. Today, let the Word of God expose to you what you already know. And when God begins to speak to you, turn to Him and respond to Him without delay. It’s time to pray.
