The God Who Sees

The God Who Sees, from the seed to the reap. Not like man. He’s keen to depths of our hearts. Our imaginings, our unholy gripes, dissipate with our Lord’s glorious light. The Lantern of Life certainly cares for even our simple needs, our daily bread. But do you think we need to spur a cause - apple to apple - elementary students scratch their heads at the egregious gangrene, the implausible depiction. The exaggeration of imagery meant to leap off the page and boil the blood. A blood bath of hatred ensues - bubbles frothing - O such majesty - let’s join in… After all, it’s the latest cause - prayers unheard of. The God Who Sees watching us. 2/3/2021

Our creator is called the Hearer of prayers, but you are scripturally correct, saying, "Prayers unheard of"I like the scripture that says, "Though you make many prayers, I am not listening". He has many reasons to choose not to listen. I enjoy your works, don't respond to all because slow typer.

What it is saying is that decisions are made without prayers but God is watching. In other words sarcasm. People will go along with a cause but with no direction from God.

“Prayers unheard of”. I would steal this but then there would be two of us. Interesting it hit us both as really something.

Profoundly true, Kim: Prayers unheard of and unheard -- offerings of strange fire. May they learn to pray for patience. ! Peace, Gershon

There's not much that goes on that he doesn't see Kim. How we live our lives is recorded for judgement day. Hope you're well Tom
