God has already spoken

There are many reasons why God can be silent, but I am going to touch on a subject that He recently put on my heart. Sometimes God can be silent simply because He has already spoken to you! If you think about it, how can you accuse God of being silent when he left you sixty-six letters and thousands of verses ? He does not need to repeat himself. Are you not happy not to read in Genesis : "God said : Let there be light. Let there be light" ?

If you and I had been there the first day God said : "Let there be light," we would have danced and we would have rejoiced from six in the morning until six in the evening.

But suddenly, as it starts to get dark, we start to panic. "Oh no ! I knew it was not going to last ! I knew the light was going to leave. Maybe we did something wrong. Maybe we have not read the word enough. "

The light disappears little by little and we spend the next twelve hours in sadness - until the light reappears. So, we realize that when God said : "Let there be light," He did not mean that there would be no night, that there would be no time when we would see nothing. He did not mean that we would always be able to understand everything that happens in the celestial kingdom. That being said, the light always reappears and we see that what God has said continues to be fulfilled without His having to say it again.

One reason God can be silent is because there is a time for the fulfillment of His Word. An example that illustrates this in the Bible is Joseph, who received the incredible promise that he would dominate one day. He would be a man through whom great blessings would be poured. However, there was a time for fulfilling the promise and he had to follow God's plan.
