The Attentive God

1 Peter 3:12
For the eye's of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their prayer.

Unbelief is exalting any opinion above God's opinion. I've had so much of this in my life, it seems every other thought right now shows itself to be a lie. So much of what we learn in church even, is man exalting his opinion above God's, through the mixture of worldly wisdom and the Word of God. Paul says we are to tear down every thought that exalts itself above God...
2 Cor 10:3-5
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
NKJV

Bringing into captivity...allowing Jesus to captivate my thought life, my knowledge of Him...hmmm.
So...if you have Jesus, you are among the righteous.
Rom 4:22-25
22 And therefore "it was accounted to him for righteousness."
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, 24 but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,
NKJV

Rom 10:10-11
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
NKJV

2 Cor 5:20-21
21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
NKJV

This "right standing" with God is positional, and given at salvation, not earned. There is another righteousness, holiness, that can be attained through our choices to follow and allow Him to change us, but our "position" of righteousness is given through grace.
All that to say....God's eye's are on those whom belong to Him, and His ear is attentive to their prayers. Have you ever been with an attentive person? Their eye's stay on your face, while you speak. They give feedback...nodding, smiling...concern, empathy...expressing joy or sorrow at your joy or sorrow. At the sound of your voice, they stop what they are doing to give you their full attention. Nothing is more important than what you have to say in that moment.
That is the attentive God. Isn't He beautiful?! Kind, more than just loving...an overused expression we have come to disdain almost...no, it's more like He's saying when I pray, "Everyone, QUIET!! My beloved is speaking!!!

MAN!!! I LOVE HIM!!!!
