The Contemporary Christian Music group, Casting Crowns, sings that God is on the throne so we shouldn’t worry but be held. I giggled when I first heard it on the radio, because in my neck of the woods, “the throne room” meant something other than a place where a king or queen sits.

But then I started to think about it. I recall those years when small pets and children occupied my life. No room in the house was off-limits. No matter how “busy” I was, they barged in looking to me for love, comfort, to feed them, or to fix a boo-boo. And I responded, in love. They became my priority. Everything else could wait. Well, sometimes not. But at those times I tried to explain I’d be there in a minute or two.
It made me realize that our Heavenly Father is never too busy for his children. We may think He is. After all, He has a universe to run and millions upon millions praying to Him. Our little need might seem minuscule in comparison to what others are suffering. Cancer, untimely death, natural disasters, murder…
Doesn’t matter. When we need Daddy, He is there for us. He will never close the door in our faces or tell us He is otherwise occupied. He is, and always will be, on the Throne waiting for us to climb up on his lap.
Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior. Psalm 38:22
Julie, thank you for this post today. Isn’t it amazing how God gives words to you that help so many others. He is our gracious and loving Father…and I’m so glad He is ’cause I need a bundle of His love today. ❤
