Heart Hearings

"The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God.... HE HATH SAID IN HIS HEART, I shall not be moved.... HE HATH SAID IN HIS HEART, God hath forgotten: He hideth His face; He will never see it.... HE HATH SAID IN HIS HEART, Thou wilt not require it.... Lord, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble: Thou wilt prepare their heart, Thou wilt cause Thine ear to hear" (Psalm 10:4,6,11,13,17).

Our God is hearing every heart,
Despite what some suppose.
When fools from reason will depart,
He ponders each of those.

The wicked atheist has said
That he shall not be moved,
But soon, in fact, he shall be dead,
And he shall be reproved.

Another one may think of God
As One who hides His face,
And thus by his presumption flawed,
Denies His saving grace.

Yet another dares to pray
To tell God He will not
Require truth on judgment day;
Oh, what a brutish thought!

The Lord has heard the humble, too,
Whose heart He will prepare:
And if this heart belongs to you,
He will receive your prayer.
