"I am praying to you because I know you will listen, O God, Bend down and listen as I pray"
Psalm 17:6
I initially read through this verse quickly this morning and continued to peruse my emails and devotionals that get sent to me daily. I ventured back to it...and decided to sit and linger on the verse for a bit. One word just stood out to me, grabbed my attention. BEND. Imagine our MAGNIFECENT God, bending down to us, listening as we give our worries to Him. When our k...ids come to us hurt of bruised...the natural tendency is to crouch down to their level and love on them...we get on the same level, eye to eye and ease their pain and give comfort. Why does it baffle me at times to think the God we serve is so loving that He is not beyond this? He has shown me over and over again that He follows, carries, kneels and surrounds me. HE CHASED me down for years before I would acknowledge His love. I know now...those times when I was flat on my face hurting from deep pain that He was there nose to nose with me. It almost makes my heart burst from knowing this when I really take in the truth of this. Before I knew who Jesus really was I never could imagine the Creator of this magnificent universe really thought to much of me. I've been shown how wrong I was over and over and over. We have a God bending to us everyday...listening to our hearts, loving us with His Grace. He is the perfect listener, I'm so thankful I KNOW that He listens to me as I talk to Him and that HE bends down with His comfort. How sweet He is.
