Today's Reading:
Psalm 27:7
"Hear, O LORD, when I CRY with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me" (v. 7)
Going by this topic, it shows that we have a God who hears the voice of His children whenever they call on Him .When we are talking about a voice, we mean sound of the mouth, words spoken by mouth. The most important aspect of voice is for it to have response and action.
God has ever been attending to the voices of His children right from the time of old, but the problem therein is sin and inability to remain consistent with Him. The Israelites before they got to their promised land had gone astray so much that it has to take repentance of hearts and punishment for them before God can begin to hear their voice again. God even told them during the dedication of the temple by King Solomon in 2 Chronicle 7:14 - "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land,"
Individual’s voice too can be an abomination to Him, if one fails to follow the commandments of God. Failure to be obedient to the issue of not fornicating, idolatry, covetousness, lying, anger, malice etc could make one's voice not to be heard by God.
Therefore, let us try to be holy and righteous in whatever we do so as to be able to call out to God at any time for Him to hear us.
