Psalm 28:6

THE LORD HEARS

Psalm 28:6. “Blessed be the Lord, because He hath heard the voice of my supplications.”

THE LORD HEARS. The voice cries out, the Rock is there, No matter what time or what place. The silence may seem like He doesn’t care, When it’s dark, and I can’t see His face. But the call of the righteous, when needs do arise, Is heard by the Lord on His throne. And hands that are clean when lifted on high, Can expect to be held by His own.

The fact of His interest and commitment to us, Was established when He gave all He had. So, though pressures may come, and come, they will: We are assured of His answers of peace.

His hands, too, are filled with the work that He does: Workers of iniquity don’t have a chance To stop His response to those that He loves. They are made special objects of grace.

I bless the Lord because He has heard my voice, When my requests are made from my heart. With a song will I praise Him and greatly rejoice; And in His grace, I will fully trust. For the Lord Himself is my hope and my strength; He hears all my prayers and my praise. My joy is in Him, His anointed at length He will bless those who, by His grace, He hears.

“O Lord God who hears the call of Thy people: this week is a time of special need here. Save people, I pray. Bless the believers who feel the weight of the work. The work is small and needs evidence of Thy strength to continue. Surely there are those around who have a desire for Thee. Help us to be careful of those who come with their hands out. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
