The Sound of Silence

"God's poet is silence! His song is unspoken,
and yet so profound, so loud, and so far,
It fills you, it thrills you with measures unbroken,
and as soft and as fair, and as far as the star."
- Joaquin Miller

Sometimes, God is silent.
We don't always know the reason - but do we really have to?
We are but God's servants, not His equals - we don't have the right to know His divine will unless He shares it.
And thus, today, God did not give me any incredible opportunity as he has before.

I did hold the door open for someone, but that does not really count.
It does.
But it doesn't.

I am praying for opportunities that will bespeak God's incredible power and love for humanity.
But sometimes, for reasons unknown, He does not choose to grant them.
Maybe my heart was not in the right place today, I don't know.

Another possibility is that Satan has requested of the Most High to stop giving me opportunities, and not to speak to me at all and see if I bend and fall.
Just like he did with Job.
And if that is the case, well, that snake has failed before he has even begun.

God can remain silent the rest of my life and I will not give up.
I pray that He will give me the strength to keep that promise.

Until tomorrow, good night dear readers.
