April 4 — Saturday's Silence

Holy Saturday.The day between the cross and the resurrection.The disciples woke up on this morningnot knowing what we know.They did not know Sunday was coming.They only knew Friday had happened.They were grieving.Confused.Their hope had been buried.And God was silent.We know this silence in our own lives.The prayer you keep praying and haven't heard back on.The situation that still hasn't changed.The morning you wake up and the grief is still there,right where you left it.Psalm 30:5 says:"Weeping may last for the night,but joy comes in the morning."Joy comes.Not immediately.Not on your timeline.But it comes.The disciples on Saturday morning could not have imaginedwhat Sunday would look like.That is usually how it is with God.The breakthrough you cannot see from hereis more beautiful than what you're imagining.Sit in the silence today.Not in despair — but in expectation.Sunday is coming.Prayer:Lord, I trust You in the silence.I don't understand everything,but I know Sunday is coming.Amen.
