“I will bless those who have humble and contrite hearts,
who tremble at My word. . .” (Isaiah 66:2b NLT)
King David confessed
and repented of his premeditated sin with Bathsheba and Uriah, her husband, and
found God’s forgiveness. Though highly educated and well-versed in the Law, the
apostle Paul told his listeners he came to them, not as an expert in speech or
wisdom, but timid and in weakness, deliberately speaking plainly, putting
aside everything except the message of Christ crucified. Both men acknowledged their
need; both men depended on God’s wisdom and grace; both men honored God’s
holiness.
God is holy. God blesses those who humble themselves before Him
with repentant hearts and reverently respond to His Word, His greatness. He knows
our need before we do; He hears our plea before we cry out to Him; He will
answer. God will bless those who approach Him with the right heart.
“And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will
answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.” (Isaiah 65:24)
God requires us to come humbly to His throne. You know... He Is God He make demands not requests.
