Not Available At This Time

 

  I guess I never realized how good we had it.

  With all the shutdowns caused by the recent pandemic, I’ve experienced more and more lately the need for help and not finding any available. Whether it’s the customer support on the phone or the store I need a particular item closing earlier, a lot of places have cut back hours and staff keeping them from being able to provide the services they once did. What you expected to be open and ready to assist is shut down and closed up. I have felt a lot of frustration when you need someone to answer but no one is at home.

 That’s what is great about God, He never ‘not available’.

My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber.  Behold, He who keeps Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep.

Psalms 121:2-4 

 

 God is never called away. He is never on vacation or taking a break. He isn’t asleep or distracted. No matter when you need him, no matter what is happening, God’s ear is ever attuned to your prayer.

 Life has been very uncertain in the past year. Things that we expected to be solid and stable have slipped and changed. The world is always like that, but God never is. He is the stable rock of security, we need whenever we need Him.
