I was elated
when I came upon the Twitter page of my favorite Korean movie star, so I
decided to drop her a note. I crafted the best message I could and waited for a
reply. I knew it was unlikely I would receive a response. A celebrity like her
would receive an enormous amount of fan mail every day. Still, I hoped she
would reply. But I was disappointed.
Thankfully, we
know God responds to us. He is the “Most High,” the “Almighty” (Ps. 91:1). His
position is exalted and His power is limitless, yet He is accessible to us. God
invites: “Call upon Me, and I will answer” (v. 15 nkjv).
An ancient
legend tells of a monarch who hired weavers to make tapestries and garments for
him. The king gave the silk and the patterns to the weavers with the strict
instructions to seek his aid immediately if they had any difficulties. One
young weaver was happy and successful while the others were always experiencing
trouble. When the boy was asked why he was so successful, he said, “Didn’t you
notice how often I called for the king?” They replied, “Yes, but he’s very
busy, and we thought you were wrong in disturbing him so frequently.” The boy
answered, “I just took him at his word, and he was always happy to help me!”
Our God is like
that king—only so much greater. He is loving and kind enough to care about our
smallest concern and faintest whisper.
We always have God’s attention. (ODB)
