Exodus 24:1-18; Psalm 68:1-35; Acts 13:26-52
O Lord, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! Even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save! Habakkuk 1:2
We must each confess that there are times when our prayer life feels like this, and the pain of hopeless despair almost consumes us completely. Much as Elijah mocked Baal’s priests about their absent god, we may be tempted to allow similar thoughts into our minds. It is at such times that we must draw near to the foot of the cross of Christ. Does He hear? Does He know? Does He care? The evidence of His shed blood answers with a resounding “Yes”!
—Rick Morse
O yes He cares—I know He cares!
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
I know my Saviour cares. —Frank E. Graeff
