Pilate's Question

Saturday, August 12, 2023

Esther is a unique book. There's not one mention of God. Some secular books have more reference to God than this book of the Bible. It's the book of the unmentioned God. When Pilate asked Messiah, "What is truth?" There's no record of His answer, because He was the Truth. God is known also in the silence. We have to cut through the things about God to get right to God. Sometimes we have to find Him in the unmentioned. We have theology, rituals, and religion, but often we have to cut through that to find God Himself. To learn of God beyond the songs, the words, the teachings, the theology, and the fellowship. Beyond all these things into the silence of being in His presence. He said, "Be still and know that I am God." If you only know God in the noise, then you don't fully know God. Learn about Him in the silence. Clear out your schedule. Get alone with God. Be still, be silent, and behold Him, the Truth, because God is more than anything only spoken about Him. Be still and know that He is God.
