We have two sons with birthdays less than two years apart. I remember when they were infants how at night I could actually hear them in the next room breathing. I could hear their teeniest whimpers and I could hear when they moved in their bed. Even when they grew older, if they cried in the middle of the night or called, “Mommy” I instantly heard them.
My hearing and attentiveness is inadequate when compared to God’s hearing and attentiveness. God never sleeps. He is awake and watchful. He hears you breathing, crying, speaking and moving. He knows your voice. He hears your prayers. Even when it feels like God’s not listening, He is. God is very attentive to you.
The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry. Psalm 34:15
We are truly blessed that God’s knows our needs even before we do. Thanks for your reminder.
