Never Too Busy to Listen
Are things busy at your house or workplace? Imagine how in must be at Celestial Control Central: "Good morning, Gabriel. Let's go over what's on the old schedule for today." "Yes, Sir. We've got a hurricane brewing in the Caribbean, set to hit Haiti with 90-mile-an-hour winds at sunset. Mount Keemakeetoa in Indonesia is going to start belching smoke today and shake a little, but the big eruption is on Friday." "What about human activity?" "As You know, sir, the Middle East is still a hot spot, along with Central Africa and Eastern Europe. That counter-revolutionary group in Peru is planning a strike against Lima in a few days. Beyond those, we have the usual bombings, murders, drunk-drivers, plane crashes, and sinking ships." "Hmm." "Plus hypocrisies, fallings from grace, heresies, factions, and the common sins of the flesh." "Crowded schedule. Review the positive side for Us." "There's a big evangelistic effort going on in Caracas, Venezuela, today. Dozens are hearing the gospel for the first time. A Mrs. Dunlap is having lunch with her neighbor that until today had not spoken to her in 15 years. Two scholars are putting the final touches on a book that will convincehearts and minds of the authority and inspiration of the Scriptures. And those 37 couples in San Bernadino-" "Excuse me, Gabriel, but Katrina McGee is about to pray. It will only take a few minutes. Then we can finish our meeting." "No problem. First things first." Gabriel leans back to wait. The Apostle Peter knew God's heart when he quoted Ps. 34:16:"? the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer.?" (1 Peter 3:12). Since He's never too busy to listen, and puts no one on hold, let's pour outour hearts to Him every day.
