Our Powerful, Loving God

When I think of God making the world and everything that is a part of it —  creating light and the universe with a word. I am amazed. 

Why would He pay attention to me? Why would He hear my prayers? The Psalmist asked the same question. 

Psalm 8:3-4 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 

[4] What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

The Devil has thrown that question at me at times when I prayed, telling me God is too busy to listen. I believe the answer to the question is love. 

Psalm 36:7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

Nobody loves us more than Almighty God, because His is a loving kindness that is excellent. 

Love Him. Trust Him.
