When God Is Silent, Beware!

 

Today's Verse is 2 Chronicles 32:31

Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart. 

    I have been reflecting and considering and even questioning about the times that God is silent, about those times when it appears that we have no guidance from him. Here we find one of those times. Hezekiah, we have learned was devoted to his God, yet at a time when Hezekiah was lifted up of himself God allowed him to walk the path that he set for himself as we learn here to prove him. That is, to show Hezekiah his own heart. So, even as David often sought the counsel of the Lord, the few times he did not were the times that he got himself into his greatest troubles; therefore, let us take heed when we think we stand, for then has it been said that we should fall. Amen.

To God be the Glory
