Silence Is Goodness

God's seeming silence is His goodness, not distance. We've been taught to hold strong when God is in a "silent mood" but God's mood never changes. Could it be that Yahweh patiently withholds details of what's to come from us because He knows if we knew what was coming, we'd mess it up and try to accomplish it on our own? We've got to start seeing EVERYTHING He does, or doesn't do, through His immutable character: good.
