Praise the L ord , all you who fear Him! Honor Him, all you descendants of Jacob! Show Him reverence, all you descendants of Israel! For He has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy. He has not turned His back on them, but has listened to their cries for help.

[Psalm 22:23-24]

“He Heard You”

Good Afternoon Beloved,

Remember how they depicted the ‘grown-ups’ in “Peanuts”.  Whenever an adult would talk all we would hear was “muah muah…muaah… muaaah… muaaah”.  My mother used to say, “yeah I believe that’s what you hear, because you ain’t paying me no rabbit tail attention”.  Some may believe that God hasn’t heard their prayer because they haven’t seen any change (or the situation seems worse).  He has heard, and not in the way our children hear us when they don’t want to do something.  God hearing us means that there is an action on His part coming.  That is when we exercise that ‘patience’ muscle…. ugggghhhh!…. I don’t know about you, but that is a tough one for me.  I can be an impatient, “Let’s get this show on the road kinda girl!”  I’m learning that the best results are not always the instantaneous fixes, but the ones that have been marinated and slow-cooked.  I find I appreciate it more in the long run and I’ve learned a thing or two in the process.  Doing things God’s way may seem to be like going the long way around a short barn, but He knows what He is doing and where He is taking us.  He may not do it the way you want Him to do it… but when it’s done His way, it will be right.

“If you fully obey the L ord your God and carefully keep all His commands that I am giving you today, the L ord your God will set you high above all the nations of the world.  [Deuteronomy 28:1]

He hears us… question is do we hear Him?  When we do, there is no limit to what He will do through, with and for us.

….and that Beloved is Good News!

U Blessed!

Have A Fabulous Evening ;0)
