God Was Silent

Saul was desperate and God was silent.

Terrified

Alone

Confused

Where do you go when God seems far away?

When the bottom falls out?

When your soul feels so parched that all it tastes is gravel?

Maybe we do what we’ve always done—

We either keep walking away

Or we walk back in.

Back into prayer—

Back into the Word—

Into the fold of friends who hold us tight.

Saul walked away and found death.

But, regardless of the past, we can walk back in,

Back into the Words of Life.
