God Hears 

29 

The Lord is far from the wicked,
     but he hears the prayers of the righteous.

30 

A cheerful look brings joy to the heart;
     good news makes for good health.

Verse 29

‘God is not deaf or weak. The result of your evil actions is that you have moved far away from God.’ (Isaiah 59:1-2)

However, God is close to a good person. God even knows a good person’s silent prayers. See Matthew 6:6-8.

Verse 30

Even our smiling faces can cheer other people! People are glad, if we smile.

Our words can achieve more than our happy faces. The Christian message is good news. God can change people’s lives. He will forgive them, if they trust him. This good news will make people strong.

The first proverb says that God is good and never does anything wrong. God supports and protects good people.

Another translation on verse 30 says, . “the light of the eyes”? When I have trouble understanding a verse, I look it up in different translations.

I looked through a dozen translations for the second proverb. The one that made the most sense to me was from The Message: "A twinkle in the eye means joy in the heart, and good news makes you feel fit as a fiddle."

Think about this: Do you know someone who has a twinkle in their eye and shares that joy with others? Do you ever share a twinkle in your eye with others?
