Thou Wilt Prepare Their Heart
"LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:"- Psalm 10:17
The Lord hears the desire of the humble. He does not overlook quiet dependence. He sees the lowly heart that comes without swagger and without demand, and He responds with care.
There is also a beautiful promise here: thou wilt prepare their heart. Sometimes we imagine that we must first get our hearts strong enough, clear enough, or settled enough before coming to God. But this verse reminds us that God Himself works in the humble heart. He not only hears. He prepares.
That means weakness is not a reason to stay away. The soul that feels poor and needy may come honestly, trusting that God can do inward work it cannot do for itself. Humility does not disqualify a person from help. It places him where help is found.
Come to Him humbly today, even if your heart feels weak or unsure. The Lord who hears is also able to strengthen and prepare the heart that waits before Him.
Today's Challenge
Come to God today with a humble and honest heart, trusting Him not only to hear you but also to prepare you.
Prayer
Father, thank You for hearing the desire of the humble. Prepare my heart today where it feels weak or unsettled, and teach me to wait before You with childlike dependence. In Jesus' name, Amen.
