My God Has Time for Me
I am just an average person. So, I understand that the V.I.P.s of this world don’t have time for me. For instance, the governor doesn’t have time for me because he is a busy man. And I have to make an appointment to see my doctor. Most important of all is the pastor. He has a lot on his shoulders, so it’s hard to catch up with him sometimes. Now it is understandable that important people have to guard their time. So, I don’t take offense if they don’t have time for me, after all, they are busy people.
You see, I know I am not a very important person. But sometimes I want to feel like I am. When I have problems, I need someone who will take the time to listen to me. I worry about my friends and my family, but who can I go to with my concerns? Sometimes I would just like to have a friend to spend time with. It seems that everyone is busy, and no one has time to listen.
No one has time to listen, that is no one but God! Yes, God in Heaven is leaning forward on His throne to listen to me. The Bible tells me that before I even speak God hears and answers my prayers. He promises that if I call out to Him, He will hear. He will show me things that are beyond my imagination. When I ask for something, He gives it. When I am seeking something, He helps me to find it. When I knock, He opens the door and invites me in. God always has time for me and He will always listen to my prayers.
Wow. God is the Great Creator of all things. He is the Grand Architect of an ever-expanding universe. He is The Master and Maker of all living things. He counts the stars in the sky and knows them by name. It is God who holds all authority and nothing is done without His permission. He holds the hearts of all of the rulers of this world in His hands. Those rulers don’t have time for me, but God does. He is my Father in Heaven and He loves to spend time with me.
He is God and the great good news is this, He also loves you. He wants to spend time with you. From His throne in Heaven, He is leaning forward listening for your voice. Why don’t you just talk to Him?
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 7:7-12 NKJV

The eyes of all look expectantly to You, And You give them their food in due season. You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.
Psalms 145:15-21 NKJV
