If and when you have a lot of pain, troubles, and obstacles in your life, you may start wondering, “is God listening?”. I hope you’ll understand when I say that is definitely not an expression of faith.

When you become a Christian, it means you’ve put your faith, hope, and love in the one dependable Person in the whole universe who will never let you down. And it also means you trust God to have your best interests in mind. And your best interests may not always be your own heart’s desires.

Yes, God is listening. In fact, I’ll go as far as to say He even hears your pain. That’s right…He hears it. And whether He addresses and attends to your pain in time to your liking or not, God hears you. So make your voice be heard. Pray. Thank God each day for the life you have…no matter what your circumstances may be. Remember you wouldn’t even be here if He hadn’t created you.

God’s love extends beyond anything you can comprehend. But He lowered Himself and became a man…even “became sin”…so that you could not only comprehend but also be directly in His presence.

It’s actually a small-minded thing to ask “is God listening”. The apostle Paul talked about the “babes in Christ“. The Corinthians still couldn’t handle “the meat” of God’s work, so Paul fed them “the milk”. They were still tiny, lacking enough faith to understand more about their Heavenly Father.

I urge you to set your faith on the solid Rock of all the universe and beyond. Trust with all your heart that your living, loving Lord is listening. I promise, it’ll all work out before you know it.

Stay tuned…
