Focus on God’s Goodness-Listening Ears

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Focus on God’s Goodness is found in Psalm 55:16 and 17.

As for me, I call to God, and the LORD saves me. Evening, morning, and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice.

God hears the prayers of His people, whether we express them out loud or under our breath. He listens to every word that comes from the heart that is longing after Him. Attentiveness is one way of showing that we care for someone else, because we are eager to hear what they have to say and what is important to them.

The Bible tells us that God is attentive to the prayers of the righteous. He cares for us, and that is why we can trust Him with the burdens of our heart.

The listening ears of God reveal the goodness of God and is a reason to give thanks in the Year of Gratitude.
