Behold, The Lord's Hand is not Shortened

          That it cannot save;  Nor His ear heavy that He cannot hear.    Isaiah 59:1
   
       Hello! It has been a while. I have lost track of my blogging. My heart has not been in it.
It seems like all hell has broken loose at times in my life lately. As I type this out I wonder what does it matter if I post here on my blog. This is a place for me to express myself and I hope that it may some how let some one else know they are not alone on their struggles.
   So the verse in Isaiah that I put above is a favorite of mine because it tells me that God is not unable to help me in these places I find myself. I don't know about you but I need this word today , and many days. I wonder as I go over this verse what does it mean nor his ear heavy that he cannot hear?
 Heavy ? How can an ear be heavy one would question ? So I will ponder this for a while and give it a go on trying to understand it. The only thing I can come up with is if some thing heavy it is weighted down , overloaded. So if I think of it this way I can say : God's ear has not been overloaded and weighted down with the cries of others' troubles, the chatter of any given day of millions of people's voices and needs coming to him. He always has his ears listening to my cries whether they are joyful cries or desperate ones. Also his hand is never unable to reach me . He is never too far away so that he can't come get to me. What a peaceful place to be . I am thankful for this truth that God has given me in His Word.
  How about you ? Does this verse comfort you ? Can you see your Heavenly Father as I do? His ear ever listening? His love always surrounding you ?
 Tomorrow is resurrection Sunday and as we prepare for the celebration of our saviors resurrection from the dead we can rejoice that he is always seeking us. That he loves us and holds our future and he cares so very much for us that he went and was crucified for our sins, he who never committed a sin. He took our sins on himself and the punishment we deserved. He took it to the cross and was crucified with them and then after three days he rose up from that grave bringing life eternal for us who believe .
 Lord Jesus,
 I thank you for this verse and the comfort that you are ever near, That you hear me always and you are never unable to reach me and help me. Jesus, thank you for your gift of salvation ! Thank you for your taking of my sins to the cross and taking my deserved punishment on yourself so that I can have forgiveness and cleansing and eternity with you my precious Savior. Thank you for the cross . I love you my Jesus . Amen
