When I’m in need, I want God to hear my cry. When I’m in grief or in fear, I want Him to tune me in. When I’m in trouble, I want the Lord to give me consideration.<\/p>\n
“Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation”<\/font><\/b> (Psalm 5:1).<\/p>\n Yes! That is what I want! Unless He does that for me, I am finished.<\/p>\n But what about when I have plenty and all is going well? I wonder if I would be so anxious for God to pay attention to my thoughts.<\/p>\n And what about when I am angry or vengeful or offended? I may not want God tuning me in or taking me very seriously then!<\/p>\n As I consider what to write in this paragraph to wrap this up, I remember Psalm 19:14 . . . .<\/p>\n “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.”<\/font><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When I’m in need, I want God to hear my cry.
