Silent Night Devotional

Silent Night
A Courageous Church Devotional

The last book of the Old Testament is Malachi. When we turn the page we get the New Testament but, in reality the time from the prophet Malachi and when God shows up in the form of baby Jesus is 400 years of absolute silence from God. What should we do when we feel silence in our lives, when you feel that God isn't hearing your prayers and you are asking is God even there?

Read Malachi 1:2a. 

• What does God say in this verse?
• Do you know that God always loves you?
• What things can you see in your life thy you can know that God always lives you?
• Can you look back on you life and see where God was preparing you for where you are now? 

In the silence God is not absent, He is always loving you and is working in the background of your life. 

Read Galatians 4:4

Do you think God knows the perfect time/just the right time to speak into your life? 

So what do you do in the times of silence? 

• Trust the Promises of God
• Be Brutally Honest with God
• Continue to Callout to God Though Prayer
• Continue to Seek God in The Reading of Scripture

Read Matthew 1:23

• What will they call the son?
• What does Immanuel mean?
