[Leah] conceived again, gave birth to a son, and said, “The Lord heard that I am neglected and has given me this son also.” So she named him Simeon. (Genesis 29:33)
The name Simeon sounds like the Hebrew word for “heard.”
Leah was unloved by Jacob. She was neglected, broken, and hurting.
But God heard Leah’s cries. And in the same way, he hears the cries of all who love him.
Another angel, with a golden incense burner, came and stood at the altar. He was given a large amount of incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up in the presence of God from the angel’s hand. (Revelation 8:3-4)
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their cry for help…
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
and rescues them from all their troubles.
The Lord is near the brokenhearted;
he saves those crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:15, 17-18)
