1 Kings 17:22

“The LORD heard the voice of Elijah, and the life of the child returned to him and he revived.” (NASB)

STRONGS HEBREW/GREEK ORIGINS

“The LORD heard (shama`: hearken, obey, publish, understand, discern, perceived) the voice (qowl: from an unused root meaning to call aloud; proclamation) of Elijah, and the life of the child returned to him and he revived.”

SUMMARY

The LORD heard and understood Elijah’s calling out to Him, and the life of the [dead] son returned to him.

MEDITATION

Do you understand that when a righteous man calls out to God, He truly hears? I want to stress that it is not some disconnected and cold conversation either. He is a loving Father – He hears and He responds. Do you call out to Him? I mean really, do you? I pray that your talking to Him is not limited to silent, head bowed and eyes closed rituals. Today, get to know your Creator! Know Him intimately – He is listening.
