HIS VOICE DAILY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: CRY UNTO THE LORD VII
TEXT: PSALMS 34:15
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, And his ears are open unto their cry. KJV
The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. Psalm 34:16 KJV
God expressed himself as a Saviour and Deliverer whenever he is been called upon by his people. His eyes are upon the righteous and his ears are open to their cry. And his face is against them who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. This statement was fulfilled on the Egyptians who were Israels arch enemy.
Moses the man of God, referred to this mighty deliverance in Deuteronomy 24:6-8, saying;
and the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage: and when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression: and the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders: KJV
The testimony was that with mighty hand, outstretched arm, great terribleness, signs and with wonders, did God brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. These adjectives qualified the manner at which God in his awesomeness dealt with the evil ones against his righteous ones. Truly, he cut off their remembrance out of the earth. It was a battle against his lordship and worship, God displayed that beside him there is no other.
Do not entertain fear when you are afflicted for a righteous cause. Rejoice, for your salvation draw near. God sees it and will come through speedily. He is the righteous defense for his people, a stable and abiding shield that cannot be penetrated by the wiles of the wicked. But be certain it is for a righteous cause that you are being afflicted not for a selfish or earthly strive that do not profit the kingdom of God.
You should cry to him, his ears are open to hear you and his eyes are upon you to recompense double to all who afflicts you.
PRAYER
Thank you Father. You are my defender and the strength of my life. I rest upon your unchanging grace and the power of your love. I commit my days before you, asking that you fight all my battles and express yourself as the mighty terrible one over my life in Jesus' name. Amen
