He Spoke and I Was Comforted.

Psa 118:4 Let those who fear the LORD say, "His steadfast love endures for ever."

Psa 118:5 Out of my distress I called on the LORD; the LORD answered me and set me free.

Sometimes silence really is deafening. Your heart, your mind, and your body are all crying out for some faint revelation, some small proof that someone up there is listening.

But here is the thing about growing up. You have to learn to listen and control when you speak. When you see a chlid learning to speak they'll say whatever syllables feel comfortable. There doesn't need to be a reason for the words. But as time goes on they grasp when words are to be used; used to ask and used to respond.

When we make the decision to believe, we make the decision to speak. We confess with our mouths unto salvation. But we learn to listen. He says, "My sheep will know my voice." We have to train ourselves to hear his voice.

He says in John 14, "in that day you will know that I am in you, you are in me, and that I am in the Father." We have to take him at his word. We have to study his word to learn his conversation. When we know his conversation, we can easily hear when he speaks and we don't have to doubt him.
