ENCOURAGEMENT FROM GOD

Part Four: When There Are No Bubbles From God

1. Just because God is silent doesn’t mean God is absent.

“John The Baptist” “…it is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” Mark 6:18
“But she was not able to because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and a holy man.” Mark 6:20
The king was greatly distressed because of his oaths and his dinner guests and he didn’t want to refuse her. Mark 6:26

2. You don’t have to understand the plan to trust God’s purpose.

“There are some things God has kept secret,”
Deuteronomy 29:29

3. I must decide to depend on God even when I hurt.

“We have been surrounded and battered by troubles, but we are not demoralized. We’re not sure what to do but we know that God knows what to do. We’ve been spiritually terrorized but God hasn’t left our side. We’ve been thrown down but haven’t broken.” 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

“Don’t worry, because I am with you. Don’t be afraid because I am your God. I will make you strong. I will help you. I will support you with My right hand that saves you.” Isaiah 41:10
