God Hears Me!

It is so wonderful to know that God hears my prayers--even those uttered in silence!  The Psalmist said:  "O Lord, Thou hast searched me, and known me.  Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar off."
In the 94th Psalm, he said:  "He that planted the ear, shall He not hear?  He that formed the eye, shall He not see"?

I like this verse in I Peter 3:12 -- "The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers."

However, in order for the Lord to hear our prayers, we must keep the way clear and let nothing between our soul and the Saviour.  Psalm 66:18 says:  "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me."
Isaiah 59:1-2 tells us -- "Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear."

Let us heed the words of the Psalmist -- "To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart."
May God bless you as your prepare your heart for the coming Lord's Day if Jesus tarries.
