SERMON SUMMARYWe explored the profound reality of God's silence through Psalm 13, where David cries out "How long?" four times in raw honesty. This psalm represents one-third of Scripture's worship songs that are laments—authentic cries to God during seasons of confusion and pain.We learned that God isn't offended by our honest wrestling. Just as Jacob wrestled with God and received a blessing, our complaints directed toward God rather than away from Him demonstrate faith. The church has sometimes created a culture where questions feel unwelcome, but Scripture shows us that authentic emotion—even anger—is worship when brought to God.God often works hardest when His work is least visible. Joseph waited thirteen years between his dreams and their fulfillment. Moses spent forty years in the wilderness before the burning bush. These weren't wasted seasons but preparation time, developing character to match calling.We live in an instant culture, but God operates on "kairos" time—perfect timing, not clock timing. Sometimes His silence protects us from receiving something before we're ready. Waiting becomes worship when we actively weave our lives together with God's purposes.Community becomes essential during silent seasons. We can borrow faith from one another and carry hope when our own feels depleted. David's psalm moves from despair to praise not because circumstances changed, but because his perspective shifted—from problems to God's character. We move from "How long?" to "I will sing" through remembering God's past faithfulness as fuel for future hope.URF WEBSITE: ➤ http://www.urfellowship.comSOCIALS: ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urfellowship/➤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/urfellowship
