Silence and Trust
May 15
In one of Joe Morgenstern’s weekly Wall Street Journal columns about mov‐ ies, he considered the impact of the great film stars in close‐up scenes where they said nothing at all. “Movie stars,” he wrote, “can do as li le as they do at crucial moments because, having already earned our respect, they can assume that we’re paying a en on.” This quality of powerful si‐ lence that we admire in actors and actresses, however, can be frustra ng or disappoin ng in our rela onship with God when He is silent. When Lazarus, a close friend of Jesus, became seriously ill, his sisters Mary and Martha sent word to Jesus. But “when [Jesus] heard that [Lazarus] was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was” (John 11:6). Commen ng on this passage, Oswald Chambers said: “Has God trusted you with a silence—a silence that is big with meaning?...Think of those days of absolute silence in the home at Bethany! Is there anything analogous to those days in your life?...His silence is the sign that He is bringing you into a marvelous understanding of Himself....If God has given you a silence, praise Him, He is bringing you into the great run of His purposes.”
In His Grace, Dr. Charles Inman

Thanks from the Student Ministry We raised $2,875 in our last fundraiser. We will be taking 15 students to camp, plus 3 adults and now have sufficient funds to scholarship everyone who needs help. In addi on we have 6 students and 4 adults going to New Orleans for World Changers (mission trip).
We can trust our loving Lord, even when He is silent.
