"For you are a people holy to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth." Deuteronomy 14:2
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Acts 13:2 "But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him." Psalm 4:3 The Life Application Study Bible, New Living Translation tells us: "The godly are those who are faithful and devoted to God. David knew that God would hear him when he called and would answer him. We, too, can be confident that God listens to our prayers and answers when we call on him. Sometimes we think that God will not hear us because we have fallen short of his high standards for holy living. But if we have trusted Christ for our salvation, God has forgiven us and he will listen to us. We you feel as through your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling, remember that as a believer you have been set apart by God and that he loves you. He hears and answers although his answers may not be what you expect. Look at your problems in the light of God's power instead of looking at God in the shadow of your problems." Have a great weekend and upcoming week! "...seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul." |
