Summary
And when David writes that God knows when he sits and when he rises, that's really an all-encompassing reference that David is making here that God knows every posture, every motion, every action, every inaction. Anyone who utteres a prayer to the Lord in strength of faith or weak of faith, anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord, Jesus will hear and Jesus will answer and quite honestly aren't we all like that father. Before we were here walking this earth, Jesus Christ had already planned to engage and enter into creation in order to strengthen our faith in order to give us redemption in order to engage with us on a daily basis through his blood, through his righteousness. He makes himself known through his word, he makes himself known through his sacraments, he searches and seeks us out and he searches our hearts and he calls us to him, self and those who consistently reject him and those who turn him away and reject his grace, they do finally shut out the Holy Spirit entirely. This side of heaven, we are always sought out and always invited to cry out to the Lord, always invited to turn to him, always invited to pray, conversing with our Lord and Savior. I have a family member who time and time again rejected, rejected, rejected, didn't believe, didn't want to believe, refused to believe in God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
