The Power of Bowing!

“‘When I called, they did not listen; so when they called, I would not listen,'

says the LORD Almighty."

Zechariah 7:13

The rain falls on the just and the unjust! God blesses the worst offenders with water to drink and air to breath! His mercy extends to his enemies. Evil men are still granted food to eat and clothes to wear. Most of them have a place to sleep at night. God could instantly remove life support from everyone who opposes Him! It is His sovereign choice that those who oppose God continue to be able to rebel against Him.

So what is the advantage of the righteous? If God sustains all life then what is the blessing of following Him? The core of your amazement should center on the fact that if you listen to God, He will listen to you! We spend lots of our focus in life encouraging each other to listen to God. This is by all measurements the right thing to do. But never forget that if you listen to God, God will listen to you! That changes everything!

There are millions of people who listen to Glenn Beck on the radio and watch him on television every day. But Glenn Beck does not and cannot listen to all of them. It is impossible. There are many millions of people who listen to God everyday and the miracle of miracles is this: God listens to each and every one of them! When you listen to God, He will listen to you!

If you were an advisor to a great king how seriously would you take your position? There would be a sober reality in knowing that your thoughts might influence the actions of the king. The sovereignty of the king would not be threatened by listening to an advisor.

The sovereignty of God is not in jeopardy because He is willing to listen to you! When you pray consider this: The world and everything in it may be changed today because of something you say to God!

If I listen to God, then I am forever and always changed! If God listens to me I can have a word to say about everything that exists! That is the amazing power of bowing your head!
