8/8/14 Psalms 34:15, 17 The Eyes and Ears Are Open to You

Psalms 34:15, 17 (NAS)

The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry...The righteous cry and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.

Psalms 34:15, 17 (NLT)

The eyes of the LORD watch over those who do right; his ears are open to their cries for help...The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles.

Jehovah, the Lord, always has you in His sight.  You are before His eyes and He has complete knowledge of your life. What He sees in you brings Him pleasure.  If you look to Him, you will likely see a favorable and approving countenance. A fountain of joy and gladness flows from His presence to fill your life. You are His righteous son and Adonai, your Father, is always listening for your prayers. When you cry for His help, He is quick to attend to you; His ears are open to you.

When you cry out from distress or need, you are summoning the Lord to your aid. He understands what you need and desires to grant your requests. God will snatch you away from your enemies and deliver you from all your troubles. You can be confident that He will rescue and save you from any distress or oppression. Sin, guilt, and death can no longer hold you in their grasp, for Jesus Christ is your salvation and deliverance.
