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.
