Day 12: The Silent Years: Waiting for Light — Amos 8:11–12; Galatians 4:4

🌿 The prophet Amos described a time when God would go silent. Israel had turned its back on Him, embracing corruption and idolatry. In response, God declared a famine—not of food or water, but of hearing His Word.

Silence from God can feel unbearable, yet He often uses these seasons to purify us. St. John of the Cross called such times ‘The Dark Night of the Soul.’ It sounds ominous, but it’s often when God works most deeply—refining us, shaping us, drawing us closer to Himself.

When we persevere through silence and uncertainty, we emerge renewed, ready to experience God’s light once again. Paul reminds us in Galatians 4:4 that when the fullness of time came, God sent His Son—the very Light of the world—to redeem and renew all things.

✨ Christmas Truth to Ponder: Even when God seems silent, He is still faithful to complete His work in you.
🙏 Today’s Action Step: Embrace moments of quiet and stillness today. Let God use them to shape you into the image of Christ.
