So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and setting the guard.
Matthew 27:66 NKJV
Question
Where in your life does it feel like the story is over, when God may just be preparing a resurrection?
Context
Holy Saturday sits in a strange place between heartbreak and hope. Jesus has been crucified. His body has been laid in a borrowed tomb. The stone is sealed, and guards are posted. From every human perspective, the story looks finished.
The disciples are scattered. Fear fills the air. Heaven seems silent. And yet God is still at work. What looked like the end was actually the beginning of the greatest victory the world would ever see.
Application
We all experience “Holy Saturday” moments times when prayers feel unanswered, when hope seems buried, and when God feels quiet. It’s the space between what we believed He would do and what we currently see.
But just because God is silent doesn’t mean He is absent. The same God who was working in the tomb is working in your waiting. The stone may be sealed. The situation may look final. But God is never finished where He has made a promise.
Truth For The Day
Silence is not the absence of God, it is often the setup for His power.
Pray
Lord, in the quiet moments when I don’t understand what You are doing, help me trust that You are still working. Give me faith in the waiting and hope in the silence. Remind me that what looks like the end is never the end with You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
