He Heareth

Proverbs 15:29 KJV
The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Heareth; to hear intelligently, to give attention to
Prayer; intercession, supplication, especially ones set to music
Righteous; just, lawful.

John Gill says, "...there is none like them that has God so nigh them as they have; his eyes are upon them, and his ears are open to their cries; he is a God hearing and answering their prayers, and bestows upon them the favours they ask for, and stand in need of."[1]

There are days in one's life when words such as these become so much more important to us; days when we feel we must have the ear of God.

In days such as those a person needs to know that things are right between him and his God so that he can know God hears his prayers. It reminds me that every day I need to seek the Lord. Every day I need to walk with him so that when the day comes when I have to have his ear, it is no stretch to have it.
