THE WEEPS HEARD IN HEAVEN

Verse for Today
Psalms 6:8 - Depart from me, all who do iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
Even as the Psalmist sings songs of praises to the Lord, the convictions of his heart are reflected in each verse. Some such verses are futuristic, some others speak about judgement on the wicked and still others are a direct reprimand to the evil doers. The child of God has every right to challenge those who do iniquity and ask that they leave them in the name of the Lord. The Psalmist also reaffirms the fact that his Lord has heard his prayers of weeping and sobbing out of bitter pain caused by the wicked. When the child of God shed tears in the presence of the Lord, an assurance comes from the presence of the Lord through His Spirit that the tears are noticed by a merciful Father in Heaven and that there will be corresponding action coming out from Heaven to give answers to the heart-aches of His children. This reassurance comforts, strengthens and encourages the suffering saints to hold on to the promises of the Lord and keep waiting for the Lord's time to act. In such times, it is only natural that the child of God even warns the wicked who oppress them that they had better watch out and straighten out their lives because there will definitely be some action from Him sooner or later. The Psalmist's warning to the wicked is also a declaration of the ultimate consequences awaiting the wicked. This message to the wicked also has an appeal to them to turn away from their wicked ways and do what is right to please God and to walk in His ways.
Dear reader, have you been lately attacked by those who do iniquities? Are you under any measure of oppression which has become unbearable to you? Perhaps you are sitting down and weeping before the Lord because of the pain and the grief which has gripped you? Please know that the Lord sees it all and that He will handle your situation and wipe your tears. Once the matter is submitted to the Lord, there is no more reason to wallow over it. It is time to get up and keep doing what the Lord wants you to do. It is time to take courage because the Lord is on your side. He takes your burden on Himself. He will give you an understanding heart, full of courage that the Lord will deal with the enemy. As we look through the pages of the Bible, we find that many of the children of God who suffered had simply gone to the presence of the Lord and kept their burdens at the feet to the Lord. Once the burdens are kept there, there is no need for it to be taken back and continue to weep or mummer about it. It is time to take hold of the promises of God and proceed further with the mission that is entrusted with us. When we pray and weep before the Lord, we are given a great confidence by the Lord that He has heard the cries and seen the tears. This confidence in the Lord is what keeps us going forward. It thus gives us peace about the matter and takes away our anxiety, fear, confusion and doubts from us. At the right time, just as in the case of the Israelites in Egypt, rescue will come. Its burnt will be upon all who do iniquities against God's people. Then they might realize that touching the people of God is just like touching the Lord Himself and that there will certainly be reactions. When we have such a concerned Lord on our side, who should we fear? Why should we fret and become fearful?
Psalms 34:15 - The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their cry.
Thought for Today
Acknowledging my Lord publicly is the greatest challenge I can offer against my enemies.
