First I pray I find the words to express my feelings in tonights reading! To honour Him. Today I was praying for The Lords help, a particular set of worldly problems [mainly praying for friends and relatives ] that I have wrestled with for some time! NB I said I have wrestled with, for this is one of my life failings, I hand it to God and five minutes later I take it back! It is worthy to note also that these issues are NOT all related to me but I DO worry. I suppose I am one of lifes worriers. :( IMPORTANTLY Please remember I do not chose the reading [I only comment] So I was astonished when I found the reading posted by Bible Version was as below. I am not saying I have my own righteousness NO I / We can only be righteous through Jesus [The Messiah] Christ The reading! Proverbs 15:29 NIV The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. My commentary! [in part taken from John Gill] The Lord is far from the wicked, [Note well, we are all wicked in comparison to The Lord] Not as to His essence or powerful presence, which is everywhere, for He is God omnipresent; but with respect to His favour and good will, He is far from helping in distress, and from hearing their cries when they apply unto Him in desperate circumstances; nor does He admit them to nearness and communion with Him now, as He does the righteous; nor will He receive them to Himself at the last day, but bid them depart from Him; they are far from Him and from His law, and from all righteousness; and He is far from them, and keeps them at a distance from Him; but He hears the prayer of the righteous; they draw near to Him, and He draws near to them; He is there for all that call upon Him in truth; and there is none like them that has God so near them as they have; His eyes are upon them, and His ears are open to their cries; He is a God hearing and answering their prayers, and grant them the favours they ask for, and stand in need of. If that isnt God telling me to Let go of the problems and let Him take control I dont know what is! I think I need to be still and know He is God I must take the cotton wool out of my ears [to listen] and put it in my BIG mouth! Sleep well everyone have confidence in God He is in control! Trust in The Lord! xxx j All credit to the Spirit for allowing me to find the words tonight! I
