We all want access. We want to be able to "get to" those in power, to have their phone numbers in our database. We would think it a high honor to have the president's personal cell number we could call whenever we desire. It would be an opportunity to brag that we could text the governor any time we want and he would reply! Access to those in power is what we all want. To be able to voice our concerns, our opinions, our complaints to those in charge and know we are heard.
Imagine the discussion over lunch as we debate a political issue and I reply, "Ok, let me call the president on my cell and we'll ask him right now!" That kind of access is what we all want. To be heard by the one who can do something about it.
Do you realize that you have instant access to the creator of the universe? Do you know that you can talk to God whenever you wish and he hears you? You can "draw near" to God and he will listen. You have access to the ultimate power, to the one who controls everything...even presidents and governors!
And it begins in this way, "Father....."
It's amazes me to listen to Christians complain about politics, about their boss, about the government and all they see going wrong. They don't really want a solution, they just want to grumble, to complain and make it clear they would do it right.
What we admit, when we complain to each other about government, is that we really don't want a solution. If we did we would go to God in prayer and say, "Father....." and with instant and unlimited access you could talk to the one who is really in charge about the problems that concern you.
Do you realize you have access to God? He will hear you. He will listen. He will answer.
Next time someone begins to complain about the government in Washington, about their boss, about anything, stop them and say, "Ok, let's tell God about it and see what he will do..." That will stop the discussion!
Why, when we have access to the God of all creation, do we ever complain about anything?
