Today I want to encourage your heart in the fact that we serve a mighty and living God that hears and listens intently to the cries of the humble heart. God desires to move mountains on behalf of those that truly reverence His Name. You may wonder who are those that truly reverence His Name. It is the man or woman that consistently looks to Him every day to be the Lord of all things in their life. It is the man or woman that calls upon Him for help whether it be a big or small thing. He is looking for the dedicated and humble in heart and He desires to move on their behalf.
I find it sad whenever I hear people make bad comments about God in the midst of a problem or tragedy. I am speaking of those that it is obvious that it is not in their heart to acknowledge God in any way when all is well, yet they want to speak poorly of Him and blame Him for evil circumstances. They may say, “Where is God in all of this?” or “Why did God make this happen?” The wonderful hand of our Lord is not a magic wand that one can wave whenever they desire. His hand is moved by a humble and dedicated heart that calls upon Him in truth in his time of need.
Psalm 145:18-19 TLB
“He is close to all who call on him sincerely.
He fulfills the desires of those who reverence and trust him; he
hears their cries for help and rescues them.”
Father, we thank You this day that You desire to move in great ways in our lives. Whether it be a big or small thing, Your Word says that You desire to perfect all that concerns us. Help us by Your Spirit to look to You in all things, and help us to stay humble before You. In Jesus Name, amen.
Psalm 51:17 ERV
“The sacrifice that God wants is a humble spirit.God,
you will not turn away someone who comes with a humble heart
and is willing to obey you.”
