I Know God Hears!


 Psalm 18:1 I love you, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
    my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
    my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
    and I am saved from my enemies.
4 The cords of death encompassed me;
    the torrents of destruction assailed me;
5 the cords of Sheol entangled me;
    the snares of death confronted me.
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord;
    to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
    and my cry to him reached his ears.
We come back to those words of David after the Lord had finally delivered him from Saul, the Philistines, and his other enemies.  Notice the depth of David's relationship with the Lord and his faith in Him. He could and would call on the Lord and cry out to Him over and over again, because time after time God had heard his plea for help. It was not that all of a sudden one day David decided to pray and realized God would answer; it was the pattern of his life.  The opposite is also true.  We don't just wake up one day and begin to believe God does not hear us; it happens over time when we stop calling out to Him and trusting Him to hear, see, and act.  Do you know God hears like David did?
