Holy Holy Holy are you Lord. He is worthy. His name is Jesus,Messiah,The King of Kings..the Prince of Peace, Counsellor, Wonderful, Mighty God, Everlasting Father. It's an honor to bless the name of my Lord because, I am who the Bible says I am and i have what the Bible says I have. Ohhh.....God is what the Bible says He is..awesome God, a healing God, a forgiving God, a miracle working God. Beloved,it took 13 good years of silence for God to speak to Abram(then) after Ishmael's birth. People of God,at times our Father keeps silent waiting for that appointed time for the birth of any promise in your life. Let's have an example of our grand Abraham,it took 13years for God to speak to Abram. Remember this was the time he had given birth to his son Ishmael,whom he had thought may be is his promised child. Notwithstanding, Sarai( Sarah) got her servant maiden Hagar to sleep with Abram. During the 13 years of silence, I think to my understanding, Abram's faith and character was building. Something of God was growing in Abram during that time. I believe in God's timing and predestined plan for everybody's life. Abram was living with an error in his belief system,but his character and faith was still developing. Abram and Sarai had a developing faith and a Godly character developing through out those years. Christianity is all about Faith,and true Faith builds character. So God will do anything to put a Godly character and a Godly mentality within us all. Hence,suffering is one of the keys to that aspect of human development in God. Here are some of the many biblical characters who went through lengthy periods of silence,seclusion or preparation. John The Baptist had a silent 30years in preparation. Jesus Himself had a similar 30years preparation preparing for His baptism,there after,followed by 40days silence in the wilderness. Joseph was in 'silence' and seclusion in an Egyptian prison waiting for his appointed time. Let's always wait for God's appointed time.
