FAITH CAPSULE: It is not possible to communicate in thoughts and not get God’s attention.
Psalm 64
God alone is the Creator of all creations. At the time of creation, God did not contract any agent for any part of man for His help to assemble man as complete creation. Indeed, He is a perfect creator. He spoke to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…” (Jeremiah 1:5) God’s word to Jeremiah speaks to all man; His word testifies that God knows all before man is formed by God. What is representing concern in the life of man which God cannot resolve for man under heaven? Absolutely nothing exists which is beyond God to respond with answer for man’s concern.
With all languages for communicating to God, there is none that surpasses God’s understanding. God hears and sees all that goes on back and forth among all of His creation. Psalmist stated, “He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see? He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge? The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.”(Psalm 94:9-10) The book of Isaiah 59:1 also confirmed, “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear?” What is your concern which cannot connect with God for His intervention on your behalf?
It does not matter how long your concerns persists; it does not count how we call on God, the truth is that He hears us regardless of different language. Wherever we call on God from no barrier can intervene. It is not possible to communicate in thoughts (meditation) and not get God’s attention. God did not hide the secret of meditation when He approached Joshua after the death of Moses. Joshua 1:8-9, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Meditation is sacrifice that demands consistency. Meditation demands day and night engagement. Evidently, the one that meditates will undoubtedly intimidate his world by evidence of God’s touch. Meditation is power to be preserved from enemy and from the rebellion of the workers of iniquity. God does not fail but will raise man out of concerns of this wicked world.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to trust and hope in His power for deliverance and preservation.
