Every Groan

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 NIV

When I read this verse I hear Whitney Houston singing it in "The Preachers Wife." So beautiful. So heartfelt. Part of the song says that with every groan we hasten to the throne. He hears our cry even when we can do nothing but groan. This is the Holy Spirit interceding for us.

We often feel as though we aren't heard. The noise in our lives is so big that it's hard to hear and be heard. This is why we must take time to shut off the noise and listen for God to speak to us. But praise God he hears us through the noise.

He hears you. Quiet your heart so that you can hear him.
