I Peter 3:12 says “For the eyes of the Lord are toward
the righteous, And His ears attend to
their prayer, But the face of the Lord
is against those who do evil.”
I was just talking with a friend today about how we put a
“penny in the slot” when we pray and we expect a colorful round piece of juicy
bubble gum to fall into our hands when we turn the dial toward heaven. However, when we get nothing for our penny in
the slot, we start to question God’s goodness and wonder if he’s even listening
at all.
He is listening. In
fact, it says here that those who love Him have his full attention – he attends
to our prayers!
It may appear that those who do evil are prospering, and they
may experience success here in what they do.
However, our prayers are always heard and God is always at
work to conform us into His image, that image that will last into eternity,
that image that will never die, and that image that is like Him.
So if he’s not talking out loud to you today or nodding his
head toward your requests, be at peace.
He’s at work to make all things work together for good.
Even when He’s silent.
