Hear this evening's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]

06.21 Evening:

I sought Him, but I could not find Him; I called Him, but He gave me no answer.

O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies! . . . And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? Israel hath sinned, . . . for they have even taken of the accursed thing, . . . and they have put it even among their own stuff.

Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His Face from you, that He will not hear.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

So 5:6 Jos 7:8,10,11 Isa 59:1,2 Ps 66:18 1Jo 3:21,22

Here it is again with the full verses and references

06.21 Evening:

(Song of Solomon 5:6)I opened to my Beloved; but my Beloved had withdrawn Himself, and was gone: my soul failed when He spake: I sought Him, but I could not find Him; I called Him, but He gave me no answer.

(Joshua 7:8)O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies! . . . (Joshua 7:10,11)And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed My Covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.

(Isaiah 59:1,2)Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His Face from you, that He will not hear.

(Psalm 66:18)If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

(I John 3:21,22)Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

So 5:6 Jos 7:8,10,11 Isa 59:1,2 Ps 66:18 1Jo 3:21,22
