I love the Lord,
for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.
Psalm 116:1-2

"How does the Lord turn His ear to me?", one might ask.
The ways are countless and the occurrences numerous. Perhaps such
would be seen in the kindness offered by a passing stranger, in the assurance heard in sacred
hymns and songs of praise, in the scripture passage that shines brighter than every other word
on the page, in the mental image that suddenly emerges {from where, you may wonder},
or in the words of surprising wisdom from a child or your loved one. He has been refining
your attentiveness to these mercies ever since his spirit first entered your heart. Remain alert.
Engage the Lord's presence through prayerful intent throughout your days. Notice how He
turns His ear to your praise and faithfulness.
