When God Says …
“He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer shall be abomination.” (Proverbs 28:9 KJV)
Life in this physical realm is governed by laws established by God at the beginning of time. These laws are contained in His holy and written Words. Turning away from hearing His Words lead to missing the rhythm of the way this life is to be lived. Yes, we are designed for the glory of Him who crafted us by His hands. We are His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10 NLT). “His divine purpose for us is to let Him love us.” His Words guide us to our divine purpose, to have the attitude of Apostle John. He got it, as he constantly confessed for being “the disciple whom Jesus loved (John 13:23; 19:26; 20:2).”
Apart from the Lord, we are nothing. Lord Jesus said: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”(John 15:5 NIV) We need that constant moment to moment communion with God through His Words. Turning away from His Words, prayers become a detestable blabber to God. By His words we are connected with the vine.
We are to call on the Lord in His will, by revelations through His words. And, He hears our prayers. We have this promise: “And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.” (1 John 5:14-15 ESV)
And I Say, AMEN!
