Listen, God—I’m desperate. Don’t be too busy to hear me. Psalm 54:2 (TM)
One of the many things I appreciate about God is that He is always listening. I, like David, might feel as if I have to beg him to do so in my emotional desperation. Nevertheless, He is always listening. When I mutter a prayer at my desk, He’s listening. When I pray before a meal, He’s listening. When I’m in the car on the road, He’s listening. When I’m on my bed at night, He’s listening.
The question really isn’t "Is God listening?" The question is "Am I talking to Him?"

Evil is looping back on my enemies.
This statement indicated to me the phrase, “what goes around, comes around”. Sometimes I feel the strong arm of discernment and feel like I need to get involved when I really don’t. It is important for me to remember that God is in control.
