“Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; You will cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’” Isaiah 58:9a (NASB)
This verse from Isaiah has an interesting way of describing what happens when we pray to God. We often speak of God answering prayer by acting in a positive way in response to our prayer. When we pray God does something to show that He hears us and we say this is our answer. Our verse today reminds us of another way that God answers prayer. It says that He will say, “Here am I.” This does not mean that we will hear Him in an audible way speaking words to us. But when we pray and then sense in our hearts that God is near us listening, isn't that as good as if we heard His actual voice? Let's thank him today for the promise that when we cry out, He is there for us.
