DO WE HEAR HIS CRY?

Do WE HEAR HIS CRY?

Psa 4:2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? How long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

In his flight from his traitorous son Absalom, David never ceases praying to God. His fight is fully borne in the Spirit world. As he cries unto God against the foolish vanity of the men who are stealing the kingdom away from him, we hear Jesus’ cry against what He coined our wicked and adulterated generation (Matthew 16:4).

We, the people—humanity--are the glory of God. We are wonderfully and fearfully made in His powerful and likeness, and yet our actions and attitudes and conduct blot the image of the glorious God who created us with shame. Do we even hear Him cry from the Heavens begging us to change our behavior? In the winds of the skies, and in the noise of high waters, He cries to stir our attention away from proud and vain thoughts, from our wicked ways, but do we hear? Do we listen?

How long, He screams, How long will you seek after ‘leasing’ , after the lies, falsehood and pretenses of the carnal man. In these words we can hear the soul of the weeping prophet crying,

Jeremiah 9:1 Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
