He is only silent to test you

Elijah And The Meal Offering

Oh, there it was! And when they walked into the fiery furnace, under trial, under a test, they held true to the end. But God was there just in a spare of a moment, and He delivered them. They knowed that they were prayed up, their sins were confessed. They knowed they had met every requirement, and yet He seemed to be silent. He's only silent to test you, to see really what you are, what's on the inside of you, see if you really mean from your heart what you're saying with your lips. Let that go deep. We can say with our lips, but is our heart saying it?

Daily Bread Psalm 56:11
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
