“The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” – Exodus 14:14
Devotional Message- Day 5
There’s something unnerving about silence—especially when it comes from God.
You pray. You seek. You wait. And… nothing. The heavens feel quiet, and your heart feels even quieter.
But God’s silence isn’t always absence. Sometimes, it’s an invitation.
In the stillness, He’s deepening your trust. In the quiet, He’s allowing space for you to let go of your need for constant confirmation and instead root your faith in who He is, not just what He says.
Think about the moments in Scripture when God felt silent:
Joseph in prison
David in the cave
Jesus on the cross
Yet in each case, God was still moving behind the scenes. Preparing. Positioning. Perfecting.
Maybe He’s doing that for you too.
Just because you don’t feel Him doesn’t mean He isn’t near. He’s the God who speaks in whispers, yes—but He also moves in mystery. And sometimes, the deepest work He does in your heart… happens in the stillness.
Hold steady, friend. He hasn’t forgotten you. He hasn’t left.
He’s closer than the silence makes you believe.
Reflection Prompt
When was the last time you felt God was silent? How did it affect your faith—and what might He have been doing in the quiet?
Prayer
God, when You’re silent, it’s hard not to wonder if I’ve been forgotten. Remind me that Your quiet isn’t a punishment—it’s a pause filled with purpose. Strengthen my faith to trust You even when I don’t hear You. Amen.
Closer Still – Action Step
Spend 10 minutes today in total silence. No background music, no reading—just sitting quietly in God’s presence. Trust that He is working, even if He’s not speaking.
