A God that’s Never Too Busy

     Have you ever gone along in your day, and your schedule is cluttered? Maybe you overbooked yourself with appointments colliding, and can’t even enjoy a 5-minute break? With the latest changes in society, many individuals have found themselves scheduling back-to-back zoom meetings, follow-up appointments and more. Sometimes, business just gets in the way of life, and you can’t even enjoy the people closest to you. Many leaders just find themselves explaining how busy they are, and that if you’d like a 30 minute conversation, get on their calendar.

The thing I love the most about God, is that even though He has an agenda for everyone on this earth, He’s never too busy to meet with anyone. God even petitions us to “Come unto me, all ye that are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” I don’t think God is twiddling his thumbs in heaven, but, I do think that He waits eagerly for us to give Him a chance everyday in our lives to spend time with Him.

You might wonder, God is busy managing this universe; why would he have time for me?” Well, scripture encourages us by letting us know that the eyes of the Lord roam to and fro in the earth, and that he beholds all sons of man (2^nd Chronicles 16:9). God is intentionally looking down to see how we are living in this life . He is sincere in his interest in us. I know this is mind boggling, seeing that there are billions of people, various counties, and the solar system. However, he really does care for us. I guess this is why David in the Bible mentions, “Who am I that you are mindful of me?” (Psalm 8:4)

However, I’m here to bring you encouragement today! God Almighty is very interest in knowing who you are! He wants to hear about your day, and he desires to help you get out of any pickle you may find yourself in. He is not looking down with a ball of fire, ready to blast you into eternal flames; he is waiting with love and compassion for a friendship, relationships, partnership with you!

God is never too busy. He is omniscient, and omnipotent and omnipresent (1^st John 3:20). This means that he knows everything, he is all powerful, and he is always everywhere. Therefore, talking to God would be nothing less than a benefit for you.

Believe it or not, God cares about even the small things in your life, from your health, what you ate, how your family is doing, desires you have for life, and more. He is known as our Comforter, and a loving and EVERLASTING Father. He’s not jaded and fickle like some “fathers”; he is our Heavenly Father, and He loves us with an everlasting love.

Hence, take time throughout your day and week, to chat it up with God, and take a chance at knowing him. You’ll be amazed at what happens next! God likes to answer our prayers, and this is why in Matthew 7:7 it says, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be open unto you.” God is not sitting in heaven grudging holding back riches, miracles and healings or peace; He is waiting with His arms stretched out, ready to bless you.

So, give God a chance at life; He’s never too busy for you.

Here are some benefits of spending time with God:

1. You will experience answered prayers: It fails me to tell you how many times God has answered prayers in my life concerning my family, health, finances, and even little annoyances from time to time. If you have faith, you will experience such a joy as you encounter the God that DOES answers prayers!
2. You will develop a solid relationship with God: When I first started talking with God, I was a bit nervous; however, as I gave him a chance my relationship with him God better. He went from being viewed as a cold drill Seargent to my best-friend and champion. I wouldn't trade my relationship with Him for anything. I know his voice, and I know parts of his personality. (He is actually really funny at times lol). If you've never heard his voice, this would sound absolutely "off". However, I guarantee you, that Creator God is readily waiting for you to take a moment and listen to him and find out more about how loving he is and how much he really loves you.
3. It will give you peace about the BIG picture in life: Sometimes, when we try to handle life on our own, we can only see 2 dimensionally and we are trying to ask humans to do things that only God can do for us, i.e., make the pain go away, heal that trauma and or disease, help me to forgive. Well, this is why we need God; so, he can help us in the areas of the impossible. So, as you give your life and problems to God, the impossible will become possible!! He said in his word that with God, all things are possible!
4. You'll be ready for heaven: There might be an innate desire in you to meet God but you might not be sure whether or not you are truly ready and or worthy. Well, as you spend time with Him, He can help you know what it will take to be ready for that great and glorious day that many believers trust and hope for.

Conclusion

So, I don't know where you are in your journey of life; however, I just want to encourage you and remind you that whenever you feel ready to approach God, He'll be waiting for you. Remember, He's never too busy to have a good time talking with you about life. As you give Him a chance, enjoy the benefits of answered prayers, developing a solid relationship with Him, finding peace about life, and preparing for a life in paradise. I think as you step out on faith and give God a chance, you truly won't regret it. Enjoy!
