God Attribute, 193

 

~ God Is Sometimes Silent ~

 

This Series ~ This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Scripture ~ “O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you ‘Violence!’ and you will not save? (Habakkuk 1:2).

 

“O Lord, God of my salvation, I cry out day and night before you. Let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry!” (Psalm 88:1-2).

 

“But I, O Lord, cry to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you. O Lord, why do you cast my soul away? Why do you hide your face from me? (Psalm 88:13-14).  (

 

The most significant silence of God was toward His Son:

 

“My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving Me, from the words of My groaning? O My God, I cry by day, but You do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest (Psalm 22:1-2).

 

“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? (Matthew 27:46).

 

Quote ~ “Silence is God’s first language.” St. John of the Cross (1541-1591) 

 

Comment ~ Even silence is filled with God’s presence. Meditate on this truth.
