Daily Devotional Reading by Charles Spurgeon
For January 31
God Always Hears
My God will hear me. (Micah 7:7)
Friends may be unfaithful, but the Lord will not turn away from the gracious soul; on the contrary, He will hear all its desires.
The prophet says:
“guard the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms;
a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.” [Micah 7:5-6]
This is a wretched state of affairs; but even in such a case the Best Friend remains true, and we may tell Him all our grief.
Our wisdom is to look to the Lord and not to quarrel with men or women. If our loving appeals are disregarded by our relatives, let us wait upon the God of our salvation, for He will hear us. He will hear us all the more because of the unkindness and oppression of others, and we shall soon have reason to cry, “Rejoice not over me, O my enemy!” [Micah 7:8]
Because God is the living God, He can hear; because He is a loving God, He will hear; because He is our covenant God, He has bound Himself to hear us. If each one of us can speak of Him as “My God,” then we may with absolute certainty say, “My God will hear me.”
Come, then, O bleeding heart, and let your sorrows tell themselves out to the Lord your God!
I will bow the knee in secret and inwardly whisper, “My God will hear me.” †
