Verse of the Day

Ok. I relize that I have not really been posting very often, and that even that is an understatement. I just haven't had time. I continue to procrastinate everything, even posting this. So I've decided to try to put on one post a day, even if the post is just a verse I thought interesting or uplifting or something like that. This verse (or verses maybe) will probably come from my daily Bible reading, but it might not. I may comment, but I might not. It just depends. I'm not sure what exactly it depends on, but I don't need to so I guess that's ok. My verse for today:

"Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear." Isaiah 59:1

I think really what this is saying is that God can and does hear us and can and does save us. He's not hindered, as we are. I know that I myself am not able to help some people who need help, because their on the other side of the world or I don't have anything that could actually help them. I can pray, but that still would not be me saving them, it would be God. Also, the hearing part. I know that I often have trouble hearing people who want to talk to me, even if they are right in front or right behind me. Actually, even today I recall an example of this. I was selling candy for a fundraiser, and twice, in different parts of the day, people have had to ask me for candy two or three times before I even realized they were there. I was distracted. Someone else had to point them out to me. But, you see, God doesn't need someone else to show Him that we're praying to Him. He knows it instantly, and can hear everyone at once. His ear's not heavy, or as the Message version would put it "God's ears are not stopped up." God is good all the time, and all the time He is good.

†God Bless†
