Sunday #2 Devotion

Psalm 57:2 (Amplified Bible)--I will cry to God Most High,
Who performs on my behalf and rewards me [Who brings
to pass His purposes for me and surely completes them.]

When your children were babies, did you quickly learn to discern
their different cries? My children promptly developed a myriad of
cries for their needs: one for hunger, one for diaper changes, one
for pain, and one for wanting love and attention. I could at a
moment's notice tune my ears to their cry and know the desire of their
heart, what they truly needed. At the same time, I would already be
set into motion to get to them and meet their needs.

Many a night I would already be sitting up in bed with my feet
swinging over the edge at the slightest nudge of a cry heard over the
baby monitor. My husband is so in tune with the cries of our children
that I have seen him already move toward them BEFORE they started
crying because he knew they were ABOUT to cry out for him.

God is so similar to this example. His ear is always attentive to our
cries. His face is turned in our direction. He is sitting on ready with
the provision for our needs. He has stored away all things necessary for
our success. II Peter 2:3 tells us that God's Divine power has already
given unto us ALL THINGS for life and godliness.

Whatever we need, He has already stored away the answer. He knows the
cry of our hearts for strength. He knows the cry for wisdom. He knows the
cry for direction and counsel. He knows the cry of faith and assurance when
we rejoice in our callings as Mom.

His blessings are catered to meet the needs of our cries to Him. His mercy
is everlasting and ever-reaching for the cries of our heart. Just like my
husband was many times already in motion BEFORE our children's cries
occurred, God is much more in motion before we cry to Him.

Isaiah 65:24 says, "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will
answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." Tune your heart
to cry to God for the answers of life and let Him pour His blessings
upon your household today.

Confession: My heart cries out to God Most High. His ears are
tuned toward my life. He performs on my behalf and rewards
me. Today I will see God's blessings as I walk where He guides
me to walk and as I do what He has called me to do.
