Throughout your life there will be times of divine silence, when it seems as if God is nowhere near. God does this for a multitude of reasons. He might do it to discipline you. He could remain silent to teach you to wait upon Him and to trust in His timing. God might remain silent so you learn how desperately you depend upon Him in every area of your life. There are innumerable reasons why God occasionally steps back and refuses to actively work in your life.
In these times, there is nothing we can do to force God to intervene on our behalf or to overcome our problems. All we can do is cry out to Him and prepare our hearts so we are pleasing and acceptable to Him. And then wait. For God can do in a matter of moments what we could not achieve in years of toil and labor.
But then, like a mighty man who arises from slumber, God can choose to decisively intervene in our lives in a manner that makes all the difference. When God is pleased with our life, He can overcome any obstacle and defeat even the most antagonistic enemy. Do you need God to intervene in your life today? He can, and He will, when He chooses.
