It is true, the ones who call out to God will be answered. That's why King David said in Psalms,
Ps 34:17; The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.
God hears the ones who are in trouble, He hears their groaning when they are in need. Many of us go through so much difficulties in this present life. We may feel depressed, saddened, and or a pain of emptiness. That's why, when we feel this way, we know it has to be a spiritual problem; our spirits become sorrowful and weary while living in this world.
Ps 34:18; The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
God understands that our spirit is crushed, brokenhearted. We call out to God so that our spirits may be healed; no more brokenheartedness! However, God hears a select few. He hears the righteous ones. Then if He hears and saves only the righteous one, then that should ring a bell. If my spirit is hurt and crushed I will find out how to become righteous in God's eyes so that I may receive a healed spirit, salvation!
Ez 18:9; He follows my decrees and faithfully keeps my laws. That man is righteous; he will surely live, declares the Sovereign Lord.
Prophet Ezekiel clearly said, the ones who keep God's laws are the righteous. Then in order to be heard by God, in order that I may become righteous, I should know what the laws of God are. If I keep the law, prophet Ezekiel said I will live.
Le 22:31; " Keep my commands and follow them. I am the Lord. Do not profane my holy name."
God said we should keep his commands-laws in the very last verses of Leviticus chapter 22. Right in the beginning of chapter 23 God said,
Le 23:1; The Lord said to Moses, "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: "These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the Lord, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies."
Meaning that we should keep these feasts as part of keeping the law of God; The Sabbath, The Passover and Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Feast of Weeks, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles. This is the law that Ezekiel was talking about.
So then, we should definately keep these laws of God, because we saw in psalms we are made righteous through them. And God almighty hears the righteous who are crushed in spirit!
Ps 34:19; A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.
I give all thanks honor and glory to Father Ahn Sahng Hong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem, for They are the Ones who saves this once crushed spirit!
