January 11 - The Lord Hath Heard.

Psalm 6:9
“The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.”
 
In times of need, often our first reaction is to seek someone to listen.
 
Someone who cares. 
Someone who understands.
 
How often do we seek help from anyone or anything other than the Lord?
 
Our flesh’s first instinct is to find comfort anywhere else. 
 
He created us, but sin often gets in the way of our good intentions.
Psalm 6:8
“Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.”
 
He cares.
1 Peter 5:7
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
 
He understands.
Hebrews 4:15
“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”
 
When we go to Him, He not only hears and rescues us, but He also secures and directs us.
 
Psalm 40:1-2
“I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.”
