Silence is not empty. It presses on your chest until you can’t breathe. It feels like God packed up His voice and left you behind. I’ve sat in that silence. Prayers bounced back from the ceiling. Answers never came. It wasn’t peace, it was suffocation. But the Word breaks through: “The voice of the Lord is powerful. The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.” (Psalm 29:4)
Silence tells me God is absent. But the truth is, His Word still speaks, even when my ears are numb. Silence cannot bury the breath of the Almighty. It cannot seal the grave that He already opened. So I wait, not for silence to end, but for His voice to thunder. Because when He speaks, silence shatters. Silence does not rule. The Word does.
Reflection Question: When God feels silent, do you lean into His Word, or do you let the silence suffocate you?
Silence grips your chest.
But thunder waits in His breath.
The Word splits the void.
