I have read the Bbible through many times and the Psalms through even more. One of my favorites is the 32nd Psalm but I have never before realized that two very familiar verses of this beautiful Psalm of David is a conversation between David and His Lord.
PRAYER TO GOD
“You are a hiding place for me. You will keep me from distress; you will surround me with songs of deliverance.” Psalms 32:7
GOD’S RESPONSE
“I will instruct you in this way that you are to go. I will give you counsel: my eyes will be watching you.” Psalms 32:8
Isn’t it beautiful to see this graphic example of the loving attention of our Marvelous Creator with the promise of His protection and care! In 1 John 5 we find a precious thought:
“This is the confidence we have in his presence: if we ask anything that accords with his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us – whatever we ask – then we know that we have what we have asked from him. 1 John 5:14-15
Here again we have the Lord carefully listening to the prayers of His children and the promise that if we ask according to His will, He hears and the answer is “yes.” I do love the fact that God’s Loving Caring eyes are upon us, protecting us and waiting for us to talk to Him. What a God! What a Savior! What a Friend!
