« I will stand at my guard post And station myself on the tower; And I will keep watch to see what He will say to me, And what answer I will give [as His spokesman] when I am reproved »
101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Your word.
102 I have not departed from Your judgments, for You Yourself have taught me.
103 How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
To live and survive on this earth, you need more than food.
Jesus said in Matthew 4:4 that you need every single word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.
- This implies that you must be very particular about hearing from God regularly.
Many people think that prayer is a one-way traffic,
that is, they go to God, tell Him all their problems, and that is all.
No!
- The most important part of prayer is hearing what God has to say concerning situations.
It is the entrance of His word that brings light, Psalm 119:130.
Many times, when I face a difficult situation, and I cry to God for help and He does not say anything back to me,
I say, “I’m in trouble,” and I continue crying unto Him.
When at last I hear from Him, then I know that the problem is over.
Even if what I hear is a rebuke, the fact that He is answering at all shows that He has heard me and that something is going to happen.
The Bible recorded in 1 Samuel 30:1-18 how David and his men had lost their family members and possessions to the Amalekites
and how they recovered all after seeking guidance from God.
It was a very dark moment for them before God spoke to them.
The men had cried themselves sore and were so dejected that they began to contemplate killing David.
Thankfully, David acted wisely and sought the face of God on what to do, and when they acted on God’s counsel, they recovered all.
In the memory verse for today, Habakkuk said that he will stand upon his watch to see what God’s response to him will be.
Beloved, what is God saying about the prayer requests you have put before Him ?
What is God saying about your family, your future, and your career ?
- If you are a child of God, you should note that God also wants to speak to you concerning your situation.
Unfortunately, many believers fail to wait on Him to hear what He has to say to them.
In Jeremiah 33:3, God said,
“Call on me and I will answer.”
He didn’t say,
“I may answer”
or “I will consider answering.” He said,
“I WILL answer.”
So, when you go to Him in prayers, tell Him,
“Lord, I will not rest until you have answered me.”
Application – The most important part of prayer is hearing what God has to say concerning situations.
