When God is Silent

Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  Hebrews 11:1

The following words were found on the wall of a concentration camp:

I believe in the sun, even though it doesn't shine,

I believe in love, even when it isn't shown,

I believe in God, even when He doesn't speak.

Enduring atrocities I will never comprehend, this person wrote something that would encourage all those who would read those words: then and now.  The person who wrote those profound words, understood that at times, God may be silent, but He's never absent.

Hebrews 13:5b says, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

There will be times when we might 'feel' like we are all alone, but in reality, we are never alone.  God tells us that He will never leave us--and I will claim that promise regardless of my circumstances.

"There are a lot of things in life that are difficult to understand.  Faith allows the soul to go beyond what the eyes can see."  John Maxwell

Sometimes, God speaks best through silence-

     But that's just me!
