If We Could Just Keep Our Trap Shut and Say Nothing at Times

There was a saying when I toured with The Isley Brothers. I was told concerning certain issues or major problems we’d have just being a part of this legendary band was to, lay dead and get ahead. Being with this band was a stepping stone of experience on to other things. But I had to go through the process of learning the animal of touring with a high profile band. Yes, it was exciting and wonderful and stressful and sometimes very grueling just to keep up with all the travelling and lack of rest. We had to still smile while signing autographs and be polite. This necessary, and constant demeanor was vital for the fans to continue following the band. Even a wild animal looking for prey knows to remain silent when stalking, and about to pounce on their potential meal. Many times if we as Christians would simply wait in silence before the manifestation of our help from God comes, we would receive more from the Lord. Through faith and patience we obtain the promises of God (Hebrews 6:12). As we wait on God there will be many adversaries assigned to get us out of faith believing God, and into our emotions that are unruly and the opposite of faith. Relief and deliverance will arise from another place. God’s thoughts are higher than ours, and His ways of delivering us is His concern AND HIS ALONE! Reading into how we think we’ll be delivered or saved, trying to help God out, is the worst thing we can do, totally taking us out of faith and into fear. If you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise from another place. Trust God.
