A Delightful Sight

“The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.” Psalm 34:15

There isn’t a more delightful site to see than that of a mother looking at the child she holds in her arms. There is just such a sense of love that is so apparent. We see the innocence of the child who is completely dependent upon the mother.  This is what the Father sees in the righteous, the innocence and the dependence they have on Him.  Innocence because they have been made innocent through the Son, they totally depend on Him for their salvation. He looks upon them with great delight! “The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous”

“His ears are open unto their cry” just as the mother to her child.  His ear is stretched out to hear the cry of the righteous, never too far away that He can’t hear the slightest sound of need.  God’s love is intense, His ears are on alert at all times.  

This verse is the promise to the righteous.  God hears everything they utter.  Every plea for help in every need they have.  He will never fail the righteous, we believe by faith this is truth.  He provides the evidence by His response and our faith is made real.

The only prayer that God hears from the unrighteous is the prayer of their need of salvation through the Son.  Other than that Gods ears are closed and their speech is wasted.  “The just shall live by faith”

God looked upon me,

My faith made real.

The blood of the Son

My only appeal.

Now God hears me,

For everything.

I’m made righteous,

I’m a child of the King.

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” Romans 5:1-2
