TOP SHOW: A) Psalm 30, which is the blessedness of answered prayer. I extol You, Lord. To extol is to admire. I cried out to You, and You healed me. Whether immediately, like Jesus demonstrated, or over time, we cry to the Lord, and he responds. He is not deaf like my little Levi is getting. God created the ear. And he hears perfectly. B) God has brought our souls up and has kept us alive. Again, this connects with how many of us have pushed into the Lord, only to learn a fantastic lesson. The deeper we drive in, the greater we know about our darkness. And the greater we find our need to be fully invested and rested in Him. C) His anger lasts for a moment: But Dave, God doesn’t get angry. And a loving God never hates. Wrong and wrong. Ten times, the Bible refers to things and people that He hates. If you don’t like it, then take it up with Him. You may want to hang out in Proverbs 6:16-19 first, though. D) His favor is for a lifetime: Compared to the temporary displeasure due to our sin, God’s favor lasts from one end of eternity to no end of eternity.
