The Righteous Cry Out,

And The Lord Hears

 

 

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.

 

The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

 

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

 

The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.

 

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

 

He guards all his bones; not one of them is broken.

 

Evil shall slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

 

The Lord redeems the soul of His servants, and none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.

 

Psalm 34:15-22

 

No matter where people are physically in Rio de Janeiro, they can see the huge statute of Corcavado, Jesus Christ. It is called Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer). The Lord hears each and every one of us, and He listens when everyone call out His name.

 

Who are the righteous? Those of us who place our trust in Jesus Christ, who Himself is our righteousness. Our God oversees our lives, and He hears the cries of those who trust Him. He is near to help in our greatest times of need.

 

Jesus always has His eyes on you.

 

The Lord never lets us out of His sight.
