When we focus on ourselves, rather than God, we grieve. It’s not that we intend to do that—quite the opposite—it’s just that seating ourselves on the throne of our lives (rather than God) creates stress.
When your sovereign leader is the universe’s Creator, you can have confidence that someone that created the world (and all that is therein) can hear you call unto Him—and that when He hears, He will respond. Reflecting on Him in the less busy times of the day will help you to hear Him better, because you are not as preoccupied with other things.
Those that are wicked please themselves, but the One that can give pleasure to another refrains from doing so for those that hold Him in contempt. God is the ultimate polygraph.
You experience the mercies of God when you spend time with Him. We walk within a fallen world, yet He will “right” us. We live amongst hypocrites. They say nice things and then act despicably. God will judge them in due time. He will not interfere with the reaping of the sowing they have incurred. Conversely, God visits those He loves—those that love Him—with favor.
