Regardless of what is occurring, I believe that the Lord always has the time for us – at the moment… now. He never tells us to come back later when He may be freer. He never has us wait. He is always present to listen. It truly is immaterial as to why this is so… it is. He said He would always be with us and that He’d even send us someone to be with us constantly (the Holy Spirit) – not in lieu of Him listening but still to be with us. I don’t understand how He can be with each of us, simultaneously, but He said He is. And thus… the end of it.
As much as I am a person that needs to know… in this case I really do. Based on my understanding, I chose. It was my decision to accept and trust what the Lord said about who He was and what He does. What I need to do? Choose to live and walk in faith, believing. Do I doubt? Question what I don’t understand or know? Absolutely! But doubt? No, not; because if He said it then… that’s the end of it.
‘Accessing’ His attention is never an issue. Personally, I can’t think of a time that I didn’t have His complete attention. This is available for all! Matthew 10:30 and Luke 12:7 tell us that even the hairs on our heads are numbered. Isaiah 49:16 tell us that our names are inscribed on the palms of His hands. Matthew 6:26 tell us that even the Sparrow does not fall to the ground without Him noting it. If He is that attentive to the ‘little things’ then He definitely is attentive to the larger problems and issues. Besides, if He says it… that’s the end of it.
As much as His attention is important, it is also critical to seek His answers. Why bother turning to Him if all He does is listen? Ours is not a God who does not provide us with His answer – however, it is our decision whether or not we act on what He says. But we can’t then say ‘we don’t know’. Actually, He gave us a manual that we can turn to in order to find His answers. The Bible has everything that is necessary to live productive and fruitful lives. (2Timothy 3:16)
“What is man that You are mindful of him…” (Hebrews 2:6 referring
to Job 7:17 and Psalm 8:4)
The point? Have a problem? Need an answer for something. Never forget that He is mindful, He does care… and that’s the end of it.
