God Is Listening

Psalm 34:4

New King James Version (NKJV)
I sought the Lord, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.

Christians we do not serve idols that can not hear.  We do not serve a god who does not take part in the affairs of men.  Nor do we serve a god who sits idly by while His children are hurting and in need.  Our God is a good God full of mercy and love.  His love knows no bounds and His mercy endures forever.  He spoke the world into existence. He parted the Red Sea.  He executed justice to the multitudes.  He provided for Himself a sacrifice for sin.  

When we were His enemies, He loved us still.  When we were lost in darkness, He provided a light.  When this world comes to an end He will take us home.   Praise be to the God who hears.  Praise be to Jesus Christ from everlasting to everlasting. 


Psalm 103

New King James Version (NKJV)

103 Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The Lord executes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
14 For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
And its place remembers it no more.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting
On those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,
18 To such as keep His covenant,
And to those who remember His commandments to do them.
19 The Lord has established His throne in heaven,
And His kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless the Lord, you His angels,
Who excel in strength, who do His word,
Heeding the voice of His word.
21 Bless the Lord, all you His hosts,
You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.
22 Bless the Lord, all His works,
In all places of His dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
