Bible Verse
"The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."
— Exodus 14:14 (NIV)
Ellen G. White Quote
"He who has given you His word will not leave you to walk alone unless you choose to do so." — *Steps to Christ, p. 96
Reflection
When we face problems, our natural instinct is to look for visible signs of God’s help.
We long for a quick answer, a clear direction, or an immediate change that proves He’s moving on our behalf.
But just because you can’t see movement doesn’t mean nothing is happening.
Think about the night before the Red Sea parted Israel didn’t see the wind, but it was working all night, preparing their path to freedom.
The miracle didn’t start when the waters separated in the morning; it started in the unseen hours, when God’s power was already at work in ways His people couldn’t witness.
God often does His greatest work behind the scenes softening hearts, aligning opportunities, shifting circumstances, and opening doors that will only be obvious later.
By the time the answer arrives, He has already been working long before you even prayed your first prayer about it.
Our role is not to figure out every detail or understand every delay.
It’s to remain steady trusting that the unseen hand of God never rests, and that His timing is always perfect.
So if it feels quiet right now, don’t mistake silence for absence.
God’s silence doesn’t mean stillness He’s often moving the most when you notice the least.
PrayerFor This Day
Father, Help me to trust that even when I see nothing changing, You are working on my behalf. Give me the patience to wait, and the faith to stand still while You fight for me. Amen.
