THE GOD THAT HEARS - Part 3 TEXT: “Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: And unto thee shall the vow be performed. O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come . . .” (Psalm 65:1-13). FEARFUL ANSWERS: God is the one who hears our prayers. That is how He is addressed at the very beginning of the Psalm. All flesh comes before Him because He is the one who hears prayer (vs. 2). This is the reason we come, but when He rises up and answers those prayers (in the way He loves to do), we are then startled and fall back. We pray earnestly for something and then say yikes when we get it. Those who dwell in the uttermost part of the earth are “afraid at His tokens” (vs. 8). And earlier in the Psalm it says that God answers our petitions “by terrible things” (vs. 5). These terrible things are not horror story terrible, but rather awe-inspiring answers, numinous answers to prayer that will make our knees go loose. (To be continued...)
