[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 88]] ## Title: The God Who Listens ## Scripture: (Psalm 88:1–3) “A song, a psalm written by the Korahites, for the music director, according to the machalath-leannoth style; a well-written song by Heman the Ezrahite. O Lord God who delivers me, by day I cry out and at night I pray before you. Listen to my prayer. Pay attention to my cry for help. For my life is filled with troubles, and I am ready to enter Sheol.” (NET) ## Observation: Have you ever been talking to someone and you could tell they were not really listening? They were just waiting for their turn to talk? Have you ever been that person? I have and it’s embarrassing when you realize you didn’t actually hear what the other person said. We must always remember that is not our God. He is not waiting for us to stop talking so He can move on. How often do we realize that we have the complete attention of the King of the Universe? The One who made everything is listening when we cry out to Him. Many people look for a friend with whom they can be honest. They know that friend cannot do anything about the situation. They just want someone that will hear them complain. God is the best of friends because He not only is willing to listen to us, He can do something about the situation. So, take a moment and talk with the King of the Universe today. He is listening. ## Application: Spend time with God today. Talk to Him about whatever is on your heart. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always being willing to listen to us.
