But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

 It’s been 4 days since I’ve written a blog. God usually drops a thought or verse in my mind and I let His Spirit guide me as I write. After 4 days of silence, I begin to question if He’s really there, or maybe I’ve done something wrong. Maybe you’ve felt that way as well, God’s silence is difficult for His children, who are constantly relying on Him for wisdom, encouragement, and love, especially in this world that is out of sync with His ways.

 After years of having a relationship with God, I can assure you, He is still within the heart of those who’ve accepted Him as their personal Savior. Sometimes He remains silent to see how we live, given the wisdom He’s already provided us. A good example of this is, as parents we help our kids learn to walk, and once they get on their feet, we allow them to go wherever their feet take them. But, when they start heading for something dangerous, we intervene, better yet, when they are about to fall, we try to catch them. I believe this is what God is doing in our lives when He remains silent. So, what should we do when God remains silent in our life?

 Today’s verse encourages us to keep the faith and seek after Him, even when we don’t hear Him speak. As a child begins to walk, they usually head towards their parent, because they know that’s his/her safety net and within the grasp of the parent’s arms are lots of love. When we sustain faith in the moments, days, even weeks of silence, God wants us to continue reading His word, praying, and living the way He has purposed for our lives. Yes, we need God daily, and He is right there with us, but sometimes we need that time of quiet to strengthen our faith and show God how much we utilize the resources He’s given us. When you encounter moments of silence, don’t fret! Just keep doing what you know to do and He’ll join you on the other side of your steps of faith. God bless!
