The LORD favors the individuals who dread Him, the individuals who hang tight for His lovingkindness.
— Psalm 147:11
At the point when I was in school, I generally attempted to finagle my way into the great graces of the educator. My reasoning was this: An educator who knows you and preferences you is in every case more able to assume the best about you with regards to your evaluation.
In school, I made it a highlight build up a relationship with my Calculus Teaching Assistant, Urjit Yanik. (As you may have speculated, Urjit was not from East Texas.) I habitually visited him during available time to ask him analytics inquiries and go over schoolwork issues. He realized I was making a decent attempt to get a handle on all the ideas, conditions and recipes. I was one of only a handful not many understudies who set aside the effort to look for his assistance.
At the point when it came time for the math last - a ten inquiry, different decision test with each extensive analytics issue having "nothing from what was just mentioned" as a potential answer, UGH! - I traded out my chips with Urjit. I was up at regular intervals asking him inquiries and getting his response on my line of reasoning. At a certain point, he really went to my seat to tell me, in an indirect way, that I might need to reevaluate issue #8 in light of the fact that the appropriate response I had penciled in was not right.
I wound up getting an "A" in Calculus since I concentrated hard AND fabricated a relationship with Urjit that made him need to make a special effort to enable me to succeed. I figure it is sheltered to state that Urjit gave me favor. I consciously looked for his assistance all through the semester, and he charitably helped me, in any event, during the end of the year test.
DOES GOD DO THAT?
As the stanza in Psalm 147:11 obviously expresses, "The LORD favors the individuals who dread Him." God blesses the individuals who consistently appear at His doorstep during "available time." He cherishes it when we come to Him with our inquiries and our issues. At the point when He sees that we are not kidding about knowing Him, respecting Him and doing His will, He spills out His kindness upon us. He becomes to us "our asylum and quality, a current assistance in a difficult situation" (Psalm 46:1).
What's more, you know what else? At the point when you truly look for God and feel overwhelmed by Him with your entire being, He imparts His insider facts to you. It's actual! "The mystery of the LORD is for the individuals who dread Him, and He will make them realize His pledge" (Psalm 25:14). "Clearly the Lord God does nothing except if He uncovers His mystery direction to His workers the prophets" (Amos 3:7).
THE BIG QUESTION?
Will you exploit the Lord's challenge to come to Him? Will you go to His available time for individual coaching? Or then again will you do like the immense hoards that appear at chapel (like appearing at class), however never trouble to set aside the effort to truly and really build up a nearby, individual relationship with the Teacher?
God needs to spill out His kindness on you. He needs to impart His privileged insights to you. Available time start now. Is it accurate to say that you are coming?
