God Cannot Hear the Prayer of One Harbouring Sin ㅡ

 “Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”(Isaiah 59:1, 2)

 Many complain that Jesus seems a long way off.

Who has placed Him a long way off?

Has it not been your own course of action that has separated you from Jesus?

He has not forsaken you, but you have forsaken Him for other lovers.

It is when you wander from His side, and are charmed with the voice of the seducer, and fasten your affections upon some trifling thing, that you are in danger of losing your peace and trust and confidence in God.

Then it is that Satan presents to you the thought that Jesus has forsaken you; but is it not that you have forsaken Jesus?

We dare not let His name languish on our lips, and His love and memory die out of our hearts.

Behold Jesus crucified for you.

Behold Him grieved with your sins.

 (Our High Calling 30)
