Blessed be the Lord, for he has heard the sound of my pleadings. The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. (Psalm 28: 6-7)
I am helped because God has listened. I exult because God has heard.
This is the Hebrew shama. This is the physical act of hearing, but it is also to listen attentively, to understand, and to consent.
Because I have confidence that God has listened I am strengthened. I feel empowered and enboldened.
God listens. I trust. In faith and trust I am given the courage to undertake what God intends.
I must also listen to God. May I shama.
