If God remains silent, who is fit to raise his voice against Him? Job 34:29 (VOICE)
Some days when I pray and sit down to write these posts, I get nothing. God doesn’t say anything about what he wants to say. He doesn’t speak. He doesn’t give me a clue.
That happens when I pray too. I don’t hear an answer. I can’t figure out what He wants.
There are so many articles out there about what we can do when God isn’t speaking. And sure, the self-reflection is a good thing to practice but maybe, just maybe, we are supposed to relax in the silence.
If we know that God is there; if we believe that he loves us and has not abandoned us, shouldn’t we be OK with silence sometimes? When I sit with my husband, family member or close friend and there is no need for words, I find it comforting. Sometimes, the relationship transcends words. In the silence there is beauty.
Maybe we should stop worrying about always doing something or striving for some activity. Maybe we should relax in the love that we know is there and bask in the silence of a Creator who is always present even if he is not always vocal.
