Divine Connection
In the Word
“Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear” (Isaiah 65:24).
Of the Word
Long-time friends, the two ladies knew each other well. Still, it was rather uncanny when it happened. One would be in a troubled mood, and the friend would phone. Or, one would barely start a sentence, and the other would finish the thought. Some considered it weird, while others were amazed at how in-sync they were.
We share just such a relationship with God, our Creator. He promises … “Before they call I will answer, while they are yet speaking I will hear” (Isaiah 65:24). The Creator’s deep love for us provides an unbreakable connection. He knows our every thought, concern, question, and need before it can even be voiced. What comfort it brings to realize how well our Lord knows and treasures each of His children.
The purpose of prayer is not to inform God of our situation, but to praise Him as the sole source of our being, salvation, and guidance. Knowing our Father is ready and waiting to hear our every prayer brings us immeasurable peace and joy.
Walking with my Lord
Lord, how amazing to have such a God whose love for and attention to me are never “ on hold.” Thank You! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
