God does not need to make noise

       I want to post a personal and simple text. It´s about something I always knew, but needed to be strengthened in my life today: God does not need to make noise to be on our side.     

      Sometimes we forget that God sees everything and he is in control of everything, so we fall into the mistake of feeling alone, helpless, weak, without pleasure in the things we like, waiting the time pass to see if something changes, and worse, all this fighting on our own. It does not work and we feel bad. But our life has value, even though many do not appreciate, even if we are forgotten or forsaken, finally, even though we are, apparently, alone. This value is expressed when our God, in His love, uses a graceful way of showing that He is watching everything and seeing everything and that He is near us. Sometimes He uses someone to speak the right words to us or He takes us to a Bible reading that speaks straight to our hearts, sometimes without understanding something happens, well, sometimes he uses up a simple post to prove that is on our side. And he need not make noise, because He wants to show to our hearts, not to our body, that He is close. Many are physically close, but close to our hearts are few and those are evidence of God's presence in our lives.                                     
         
      Do not want to simply see or hear God, because, perhaps, the noise is our way to realize something, but God is gracious, and His divine presence is quiet and much more real and lasting than the roar of the troubles of life. Stand, walk, love of God is very great, and do not think he will not find you just because you live there in a closed room. He sees everything and don´t need the noise to do it.

Way

Trust

        Said the Lord to Moses : Why you call me? Says to his sons from Israel to walk foward. Moses and the sons from Israel were in a crucial moment. behind them came the Pharaoh in front was the Red Sea, the people were corned and only had three options: Surrender, fight or trust in God. Moses out of the three opitions given choose to trust in God and did what He had ordered, with that the se split opened and the people passed but the pharaoh perished.

        There are moments in our lives where we find ourselves in the same situation as the sons of Israel, we feel cornered and looking all around us we see no escape. And in this situation we have to take a stand, because there are time to call, but there are also moments to act and to have atitudes of faith. It's necessary to hear the order from God and not only cry, and murmur and look at the critic situation, but we have to stand tall, look up believe in the word of god and obey his commands. There is no other way to come out of certain situations if not to have complete trust in God. Moses dind't think twice, he just touched the sea and act. The fights are a bridge to victory, the faith in God is what will make us cross it and conquer.
