“Even God’s silence has a purpose.” Sometimes, when God does not answer, it is not because He is simply silent; it may be because He is working a deeper transformation within us something far greater than the answer we are asking for. When Joseph was in prison, God seemed silent; but behind that silence was a preparation for the palace. At Lazarus’ tomb, the delay made it seem as though everything was over; but behind that delay, the glory and power of God were revealed mightily. Therefore, do not be afraid when there are seasons in your life when God seems silent. Just as roots grow deeper where our eyes cannot see, trust that God is carefully and beautifully working something within your life, even when you cannot see it. Even in the silence, do not lose hope. Even in the delay, do not lose faith. Because God’s silence is not emptiness it carries a divine purpose behind it! Hepsi Sam ✍️
