Silence feels like absence. Especially after years of obedience. But the Hebrew word charash means silence that restrains action. Not indifference. Control. Sometimes God is quiet not because He left, but because He is holding back—for your sake. If you’re living in a season where God feels distant, Scripture does not rush you past it. Silence is not abandonment. It is a form of presence we don’t like—but often need. #GodsSilence #HebrewBible #FaithAndDoubt #ChristianReflection #OlderFaith
