The Verse You Skipped+FollowGod’s Silence Does Not Mean God’s Distance 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 #OlderFaith1226Share
DidYouKnow+FollowGod’s silence is not absence. Many believers fear silence more than suffering. Because silence feels like abandonment. But Scripture is full of silent seasons. Four hundred years pass between Old and New Testament. Many psalms end without answers. Jesus himself cries out and hears nothing in return. That matters, because older believers often whisper a question they are afraid to say out loud: “Why does God feel quieter now than He used to?” The Bible never equates silence with distance. Sometimes silence is restraint. Sometimes it is grief shared, not explained. God’s nearness was never measured by volume. If heaven feels quiet in this season of your life, that does not mean you were left behind. It may mean God is sitting with you, not interrupting your pain with noise. #BibleMisconceptions #GodsSilence #FaithJourney #ChristianReflection #DidYouKnow1046Share
