day happened to be shine-d by stars...
"Hear my prayer, LORD; let my cry for help come to you. Do not hide your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly"
As you read these words from the Psalmist, do you find yourself crying, "Hear my prayer, LORD; let my cry for help come to you." Do you sometimes wonder if he has hidden his face from you or if he has turned his ear away from you?
In the wisdom of God, one of the great blessings given to those who follow the LORD is that we can come to him in our broken state, and in our times of trouble we can lay all our cares in His hands and know that he hears us. The conditions around us are temporary ... they will perish and be discarded ... but the LORD's presence remains throughout all generations. Our future, and our children's future, is assured by the LORD's ongoing and gracious presence. We, and forever they, can rest assured that when we call to him, he hears us!
