Bible Question:
The prayer of Solomon in 2 Chron 6:14-42 has the request that God hear from heaven. I connect the verses 2 Chron 6:40 with 7:14 with the idea of "I pray Thee" and "the I will hear from heaven". So my desire is to convince that the "I pray Thee" of NASB, 1977 or the "I beseech You" of the Amplified be accepted here. 2 Chronicles 6:40, "...let Thine eyes be open, and Thine ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place." 2 Chronicles 7:15, "Now My eyes shall be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place."

Bible Answer: Greetings Ray - I don't know if I understand your question here . . . but this is that track I am following . . . We pray for God to see and hear and He responds. Now, contrast these verses with Eph 1:18 where Paul says, "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints," To me, this verse reminds us to choose to see things from God's perspective - that WE are HIS treasure, His inheritance and that gives us great value and immeasurable worth, for we were bought with the precious blood of Christ! He sees and listens to us, His dear children! Blessings, mommapbs |
