The God Who Hears
“And it shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear (Isaiah 65:24).”
When you’re hurting, God comforts.
When you’re missing, God seeks.
When you’re empty, God fills.
When you’re weak, God strengthens.
And when you’re praying, God hears.
Lately I have been going through a very stressful situation. My wife and I are atte
mpting to buy a flat but have met one obstacle after another in completing the purchase. Making the matter worse is that we have to move out of the place we are currently renting. So I’ve been frantically trying to arrange a new place for us to stay, and everything is very last-minute because of the unexpected delays. Of course, we have been praying for God’s direction every step of the way, but sometimes have been unsure what He is directing us towards. As I was thinking about these things this week and pondering what God is doing, I felt this reassurance that God is the “God Who Hears.”
He is the God who hears us when we are in bondage. The children of Israel had been in Egyptian slavery for four hundred years when God appeared to Moses and told him He had heard the Israelites’ cry. He knew of their captivity and now was going to send Moses to deliver them. Are you struggling with a bondage? Are you oppressed by the chains of sin, depression, or illness? Cry out to God today and realize He is a God who hears your cry. You may not see your deliverance instantly, but if you cry out in true faith and repentance your miracle is on the way. God hears your cry for deliverance.
He is the God who hears us when we are in pain. The Scriptures tell us He is the “God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3).” When you are in pain, whether physical or emotional, God is interested in comforting you and drawing you to His side. Never think that He is unaware of your pain, but realize that as your child He knows all about it and is going to send you comfort. Cry out to God for comfort, and He will hear and walk alongside you.
Finally, He is the God who hears us when we are unsure. We are told to cast all of our care upon Christ, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). What a tremendous promise! The verse doesn’t say to only cast your big cares upon God, but all of your cares upon Him. That includes things like, “Where should I live?”, “What kind of grades am I going to get?”, “Why do I feel lonely?” Every single one of your concerns matters to God, and we can cast all of them upon Him! He hears your cares. So let’s learn not to worry about these natural things, but simply ask God for help. He comforts, He seeks, He fills, He strengthens, He hears. Praise Him for His never-ending help!
