Blessed be the Lord, because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
--Psalm 28:6 (NKJV)
From the daily Bible reading on February 5, 2013 of Psalm 28; Matthew 25:1-30; Exodus 17-19.
Prayer was very important to David and his psalms were mostly prayers, supplications, lifted to God. When he saw that God had answered his pleadings, he was very grateful and exalted the Lord for His generosity. God still answers prayers. I see it almost daily and many times very specifically. I have seen one freed from the slavery of prescription drug addiction that was destroying their life and soul and returned to their chosen profession over the course of a few years. And I have seen peace immediately descend upon one over whom prayer was lifted that the turmoil of his heart be stilled. God still answers our prayers, even if not within our expected time frame or with the answer we would prefer. But we can trust that His timing will be perfect and His answer will be for our good. We can trust in Him because He has always been faithful. Blessed be the Lord! Amen.
God of all creation, thank You so much for hearing our pleadings and answering our prayers. You listen to our supplications, whether we lift others up to You or have concerns of our very own we need You help with, You consider them and provide for our needs. I pray that we should remain as faithful to You as You are to us. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
