“At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out and I have come to tell it to you, for you are greatly loved.” Dan.9.23 ESV
Our precious Lord is quick to listen to our pleas for mercy. Even before there is a word on our tongue He knows it completely. His knowledge of our prayers is more than just knowing that we would pray but we pray because He knows and inhabits our prayers, indeed He has known our prayers before all time. Our great God has woven our intercessions into the fabric of the universe and all that is accomplished by them has first come from His gracious hand. We pray because He wills us to do so, because He desires to work some good in the world. He is the magnet that draws the metal of all prayers heavenward and is sending down the answer at the beginning of our pleas for mercy. So great is His love for His people, that even now there waits an angel to leap from God’s presence in answer to prayers forming in our hearts but yet expressed. “Before you call I will answer,” (Is.65.24). Pray dear saint and become the instrument our God’s great mercy in the world. 11/14/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
