In times of God's silence we know it is our faith that pleases him. Oswald Chambers, my favorite theologian, says "God honors us with silence." Faith is an act, not just a theological concept.

This can be a tall order for me when I know that He is close but I'm not getting a clear sign or any indication of His direction. I love the C.S. Lewis quote about God honoring us. That idea tells me that He is saying- He can actually trust in me to either wait or do what I feel it is He wants me to.
When I know someone well, alot of times in absence of contact, I can use what I know of the heart of that person to get the answer I'm looking for. Whether it's a spouse, friend, boss, pastor or teacher, I can use what I know is in line with their preferences. It's very much like the popular acronym W.W.J.D. 'what would Jesus do?' The quote by Lewis describes a loving God who is trusting me to do the next right thing.
