Then Jehoahaz sought the favor of the Lord, and the Lord listened to him.

2 Kings 13:4 (ESV)

Did you know that God listens to you? He doesn’t pick and choose who He listens to based on who you are or what you’ve done. The verses prior to this say that Jehoahaz did evil in the sight of the Lord just like his father had done and his father before him. Yet, when the king of Israel called out to God, God listened.

When you call out, no matter who you are or what you’ve done, God listens.

Without faith no one can please God. Anyone who comes to God must believe that he is real and that he rewards those who truly want to find him.

Hebrews 11:6 (NCV)
