Listen, God! Please, pay attention! Can you make sense of these ramblings, my groans and cries? King-God, I need your help. Every morning you’ll hear me at it again. – Psalm 5:2 MSG
Steps on Your Journey to Know God More Intimately
- This name is Melek Elohim in Hebrew. Melek means king or royal. Elohim means God, judge, great and mighty.
- God is the King of the universe and yet He is a God we can talk to and who listens to us. How has God answered your prayers recently?
- In what areas do you need help? King-God is listening, waiting for you to call. Talk to Him today.
- Have you ever met a king? I haven’t, although I did meet the President of Guatemala. I even got a hug from him at church one Sunday. It was such an honor to meet him, yet it is much more of an honor to know the King-God.
- In this verse, King David is asking God to make sense of his ramblings, his groans and his cries. Can you relate to that? Anytime you are having a hard time making sense of how you’re feeling and even your ramblings, you can ask God to help you figure it out.
- David says that every morning he talks to God. I believe it is important to start every day by spending time with the Lord, talking to Him as well as letting Him talk to you through His Word.
- What a privilege to talk to our God and King every day.
A Prayer for You
King-God, I’m so grateful that You aren’t too busy to listen to my prayers. Thank You that even though You are the King of kings, You care about the things that are happening in my life. (Take some time now to tell King-God what your concerns are.)
