When you allow God to have his way in your life, especially in the areas that are seemingly unrelated to the things you’re praying for, what God can perform goes beyond what any man has seen or heard.

Obedience doesn’t come from a place of performing for God or others - doing things because you think they are right or because you think it’s what a “good Christian” does. Obedience flows from you as a response to a relationship you have cultivated with God. You do what He says because you love Him. You do what He says because He has shown you that you can trust Him. You do what He says because He is the only one that sees your entire life from start to finish and knows precisely what is best for you.

God’s silence is a necessary part of our growth. It is intentional because it is in this silence that your faith becomes what it ought to be.
