Thoughts for another day

July 25, 2013.

Today's verse: Ps. 17:6. I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

God is there for all who call on Him, trusting Him to answer.  He is never too far and is nearer than we can imagine for in Him we live and move and have our being.  He is at hand and is willing to enmesh us in His love.  His response to our call is truly amazing and crystal clear if we can only silence ourselves from the cacophony of this world and move deep inside of us, so that He can speak to us and we listen. 

If we’re not able to listen to Him then it must be like the man who went on the top of a mountain range and yelled out a ‘hello’, but he could not hear the echo nor his own voice clearly because he had cotton pods in his ears.  So before we call upon the Lord, are to remove the pods in our ears?  Are we to make our minds silent to hear only the soft waves of the breeze as it blows and even hear the gentle beat of our hearts as we stay in God-given stillness? 

If we’re able to do that and be confident in Him, we can rest assured He will listen and talk to us for He answers every call, either to tell yes or no, to our prayer and give us the confidence that only a father can give his son.  And for all of us who’re inclined to Him, I tell you, He has heard the words of your mouth and has hearkened unto your call.  It’s just a matter of time when He will show forth His glory in unlimited grandeur and salvage your lost glory, raising you and lifting you to hills of beauty, unparalleled in splendor and grandness.  Yes, for those who yearn for Him and seek Him with all their hearts, He is there and His answer is just a breath away.
