‘God is just a Prayer away’, an old saying but still true.
Esther, Mordecai and all the Jews in Babylon had turned to the Lord when faced with the threat of annihilation. They’d been exiled there because of gross idolatry, but they were God’s people and He heard their prayers and answered them. God will always answer the sincere prayers of His children today.
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
12 Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
YOU SURROUND THEM WITH YOUR FAVOUR AS WITH A SHIELD. Psalm 5, David
Thank God for His Favour for all of us His children. David said, ‘Surely, O Lord, You bless the righteous’. David also knew and declared that God’s will was to bless His children and His Favour surrounds us like a shield. We can declare that for ourselves and our loved ones!
4 Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;
praise his holy name.
5 FOR HIS ANGER LASTS ONLY A MOMENT,
BUT HIS FAVOUR LASTS A LIFETIME;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning. Psalm 30 David
God was angry with Israel and Judah many times, but as soon as they turned back to Him He always showed His care for them. Some of us can think of relationships that have lasted a long time, while others may have fallen away, but God never turns His back on us. HIS FAVOUR LASTS A LIFETIME, Hallelujah
However, David also learned his utter dependence on God.
Lord, when you favoured me, you made my royal mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed. NIV
When things were going great I crowed, “I’ve got it made. I’m God’s favorite. He made me king of the mountain.” Then you looked the other way and I fell to pieces. MSG Psalm 30:7
As we honour God, He can make the wealthy and powerful seek us out and bless us.
11 Let the king be enthralled by your beauty;
honour him, for he is your lord.
12 The city of Tyre will come with a gift,
people of wealth will seek your favour. Psalm 45 Sons of Korah
Does God have people who will bless us, ask Him today to bring them across our paths.
