Our God Is Still Able

Breaking News… islands in the Caribbean have officially been introduced to the extraordinary chocolate of your beloved Dulci Sweets.

According to sources, their eyes have been opened, their taste buds have been transformed, and the island will never be the same.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program. 😎

Our God is able.

That truth is easy to say when the sun is shining, the prayers are getting answered, and life feels wrapped in a bow like a beautiful box of Dulci chocolates.

But what do we do when God feels silent?

What do we do when we are praying, believing, waiting, hoping, and heaven feels quiet?

Lately, my heart has been carrying people I love who are standing in very real fires.

A close friend has been in a two year battle with cancer, walking through endless treatments, and now stepping into an experimental trial.

Another friend, a pastor, teacher, father, and faithful servant, was paralyzed after a fall. One moment life was moving forward. The next, everything changed.

Another friend recently faced a serious medical scare. Doctors feared it was cancer. After a long battery of tests, praise God, no cancer was found.

These are not small things.

These are the kinds of battles that make you sit quietly, stare out the window, and whisper, “Lord, where are You?”

Here is the lesson I am learning again and again.

God will not always keep us from the fire, but He will always meet us in it.

We worship Him on the mountaintops.
We get to know Him in the valleys.

Trust is easy until it gets tested. Until adversity hits hard. Until the diagnosis comes. Until the phone call changes everything. Until the answer we wanted does not arrive when we hoped it would.

But silence does not mean absence.

Sometimes God is doing His deepest work in the quiet places. Strengthening what is weak. Comforting what is broken. Holding what feels too heavy for us to carry.

What Do We Do When God Feels Silent?

We keep praying.

We keep worshiping.

We keep standing.

We keep showing up with faith, even when our feelings are tired.

We ask for miracles of provision and protection. We ask for miraculous forgiveness. We ask for supernatural healing. We ask because we believe all things are possible with Jesus.

I believe God can heal.
I believe God can free us.
I believe God strengthens, comforts, protects, and provides.
I believe everyone who calls on His name will spend eternity with Him.

Without that hope, the silence can feel dark, lonely, and impossible to carry. But with Jesus, we are never without comfort, never without purpose, and never without eternity.

Our God is able.

And even if He does not answer the way we hoped, with everything in us, we still stand firm.

This is not pretend faith. This is not smiling through pain and acting like everything is fine.

This is the kind of faith that says, “God, we believe You can. We believe You will. And even if You do not, we still believe.”

Because our hope is not only in what God does.

Our hope is in who God is.

He is faithful in the fire. Near in the silence. Strong in our weakness. Present in the waiting.

So today, for every person in the battle, every family praying for a miracle, every heart wondering if God still hears, let this be your reminder.

He does.

Our God is able.

And you are not alone.

With love, faith, and the reminder that God is near in every fire and faithful in every silence,
Brock

P.S. If this message made you think of someone who is standing in their own fire, send it to them. Not in a “here’s a sermon, good luck” kind of way. More like, “I love you, I’m praying for you, and I wanted you to be reminded today that God is near, even in the silence.” Share the Goodness. It was created to be shared.
