When God Speaks

Youre So Holy - CeCe Winans



Oh, for the grace to be silent! Oh, to "be still, and know that [Jehova is]God" Ps. 46:10

My soul yearns for the oh Lord!
To spend time away with you alone Father...
That I may clear my mind and concentrate on you,
That I may empty my heart out to you Oh God...

For it is in the quietness of my solitude
That your voice speaks the loudest!!!

It is in these quiet moments where I've heard God speak clearly! Such an intimate encounter in which all I can do is say Holy. It's like for an instant I can almost hear the angels giving Him praise..saying you're holy, you're holy. And I join in this chorus along with them praising God for who He is! My heart is filled with the realization of His love, mercy, and grace! Who am I that He would pour out His love towards me and allow me the privilege of catching a glimpse of heaven!

I was listening to someone the other day speak about a weekend spent up in the mountains and on one night walking back to the cabin they were admiring the beauty of the stars. And as they heard the wind gently rushing through the leaves, it's like they could hear God Speaking!!

But that's how my God is! He enjoys and looks forwards to those moments even more so than we do!! He calls me everyday....he calls you everday to come into His presence..

Willing and Able

"The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me"

(Ps. 138:8).


That which concerns us concerns Him too! When we bring them to God in prayer and speak honestly to Him from the depths of our hearts an awesome dynamic takes place! One which takes the relationship to a deeper level. God rejoices with the fact that you trust Him enough to share with him that which He already knows. He sees that you are willing to let your walls down, put away the mask, and everything else that serves as an obstacle in this divine communication. NOW He's able to deal with your concern! And as you wait on Him, patience begins its perfect work!

Things might not necessarily look like they're going the way you'd like. As a matter of fact it might seem its getting worse...almost to the point of losing hope! It is when you continue to hold on to that trust and faith, when circumstances though good or bad seek only God's will that you begin to see just exactly what God can do and how he works!
