"Perfect Favor"

"I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplication, O LORD." (Psalms 140:6)

   On a more positive note, this is where real relief is found, in knowing that God has your back! To be more confident than ever in where you stand with God, you must be perfectly honest before Him, and not pretend that you something that you are not. Why would anyone think that they could pretend otherwise? We know that there is nothing we can do on our own, even if it is something that is easy to figure out. If you think that you can independently do something without asking the LORD what He thinks, it is most likely going to be something you will regret. And no, this is not off the subject; this is the subject! This is everything that David is trying to say, all rolled up in one simple perfect favor: LORD, hear my supplication! Do you need to get schooled in the basics of how that works? Because it hurts to be going through those kinds of lessons! God speaks, we listen and obey; then, when we speak, God will listen! Isn't that what John says, as he assures us that God hears our prayers: "And this is the confidence we have in him, that if ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him." (1 John 5:14-15) The key to perfect happiness is that of being and doing as much a humanly possible according to His will, plain and simple! If you are doing what you are doing according to His will, then if something is wrong, it must be right! You really can't make this stuff up, it is just that God works all things to the good, according to His purpose, not ours...

"This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." (Lamentations 3:21-25)
