Too much.
That’s a phrase exclusive to humans.
We’ve asked too much.
In a world where different benefactors have different tipping points of frustration, we learn to titrate our requests.
I called a professional who had done some work for me a year ago.
The call wasn’t because I wanted something.
I was in his vicinity and thought it would be nice to say hello.
He didn’t pick the call. He didn’t respond to messaging.
Maybe he was worried that I was going to put new demand on him.
Maybe he was just too busy.
As humans there is always a limit to what we are able and willing to give.
God makes no such excuses.
When you consider that He has over 8 billion souls to cater to, He should be the epitome of busy – but He’s not.
Our Father may chastise humanity about a number of things but over-asking has never been one of them.
Jesus cited this with the parable of the persistent widow.1
She went to a human judge with her petition.
She wore him out so much so that the judge decided on the matter just so he could get his peace.
God has no such concerns.
The Almighty has no limits on how often we can come to Him.
He may give us an answer we don’t like on a particular request, but He’s never going to stop us from coming.
Joshua forgot this.
After succeeding Moses, he had won battle after battle by listening to God and following divine strategy.
Joshua knew he had access to God.
He just didn’t think to run things by Him because he believed there wasn’t any more to the Gibeonites request than met the eye.2
After the consistent highs of victory, Joshua believed he could move ahead without necessarily consulting the Lord and signed a bad deal for Israel.3
I’ve been guilty of that.
I’m so familiar with a particular situation or I think I have enough experience that I don’t consider taking something to God.
Sometimes it’s pride. Sometimes it’s life.
It’s easier to ask for help when I’m afraid, or unsure.
It’s definitely easier when I don’t know what I’m doing.
God’s open – office policy leaves us without excuse.
Jesus died to give us heavenly access
The one who should claim the title of too busy has gone on to state that he cares about the strands of hair on our heads.4
That’s granular level detail!
He actually wants to communicate with you.
Whether you’ve had a bad day and need to vent, or you’ve had a great season and need to celebrate or you’re confused and need some help. He stretched his hands out on Calvary that you may come.
In all your ways acknowledge Him is a dead serious invitation.
Stop and think about what a gift that is.
You have 24/7 access to the one who made it all, and knows it all
We go to God not just because we need something.
We go to God to share the ups and downs of our lives.
He has all power and all ability to help even when we don’t think we need it and His plans for us remain good.
That’s a major gift this side of heaven.
Let’s utilize it more.
