When God Seems Quiet

In the moments when God seems silent or distant, these scriptures remind us that His perceived absence is never a reality. Whether it is Jacob waking from a dream to realize the Lord was in a place he hadn't recognized, or the disciples facing terrifying storms while Jesus appeared to be walking past them or even sleeping, the common thread is that God’s presence is constant regardless of our immediate awareness. We often mistake His silence for indifference, yet He is actively working, sustaining us, and revealing His glory in the middle of the dark night or the crashing waves. These passages challenge us to trust in His character and His promises rather than our fluctuating feelings, knowing that He is the "I Am" who remains near even when we cannot hear His voice or feel His immediate intervention.
