Silence or Indifference

Ps. 28:1  To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock; Do not be silent to me...

Have you ever had the opportunity to comfort or console someone just by being with them?  Being there but not speaking?  In those situations, absent of words, your presence is what shows that you care.

At times we feel, as David must have, like God has turned a deaf ear to us or that He isn't going to answer (speak to) us.  Or even worse, that He just doesn't care.  That's where we confuse silence with indifference.  Silence means you don't speak, indifference means you don't care.

There may be times when God doesn't speak, but there will NEVER be a time when He doesn't care.

He is always with us (Mt. 28:20).  He will never leave us or forsake us.  The very promise of His uninterrupted presence in our lives is proof that He ALWAYS cares.  Even when He is silent.  Don't confuse silence with indifference.


Sock Monkey Snippet:  There will NEVER be a time when God doesn't care.
