**Sit quietly, eyes closed and in silence for one minute before reading.**
How
do you see God? Do you expect Him ready to respond to you at any given moment?
Do you see Him responding immediately the moment you make a request? Do you see
Him as the Divine Butler, the one who waits for you to speak and is at your
beck and call?
Taking a look at my emotions and accusations when God doesn’t respond the truth
comes forward that I see Him as a Divine Butler rather than a Gracious Father.
As I erupt in anger or plummet into sadness when He doesn’t respond how and when
I want Him to I am convinced I call the shots, I know best, I am the boss.
A Divine Butler He is not rather a Gracious Father He is. A Father who knows
perfectly when to respond and exactly how to given the child He is speaking to.
A Father that knows our past, present and future and gives good gifts in love
and grace. A Father who loves us too much to meet us in our every bidding. A
Father who knows us more deeply than we know ourselves and responds and meets
us in our depths rather than our shallow requests.
How will you see God as a Gracious Father today?
**Sit again in silence for as long as is available to you.**
