Daddy!!!!!!

Have you ever been to a soccer game and suddenly are met with John Doe whose son, Jimmy, is on the field playing? You can look into his eyes and see such pride reflecting in them. He's calling from the side lines, screaming out the plays that he "should" do and it's right in your ear. But you never forget Jimmy's dad because the goalie just threw the ball into Jimmy's face. Why do you not forget Jimmy's dad? Because Jimmy's dad just went running across the field at the very goalie who threw the ball into Jimmy's face. He did not just run across the field, he charged across the field. Got the imagery yet? Our God, our Father is the same way. Let's take a look at Psalms 18:6-19. David said, " In my distress {when seemingly closed in} I called upon the Lord and cried to my God; He heard my voice out of His temple {heavenly dwelling place}, and my cry came before Him into His {very} ears. Then the earth quaked and rocked..." Get this... Whenever you cry out to God, "Daddy!!!" He looks down and says, "There is no one in Hell that can touch my child." You are probably in shock by the four letter word but it is literal that no one in Hell, no demon in Hell, not even the devil himself can touch you. Yes, he can throw darts at you, he can hinder your progress in life, he can even place people in your life that will harm you but he himself can not harm you. So often we sit in our pity party, crying over spilt milk that we fail to remember that God Himself will come down from the throne and kick the devils rear guard. Too often we are busy worrying about what bill is going to be paid next that we fail to go to the one who created the money to pay that bill. Too often we forget the faithfulness that God is longing for and instead we head to the phone to get a "word." Don't be deceived Christian. Don't listen to the devil call into your ear that "God is not listening." If we call upon God and cry out to Him, the Word says that He is "inclined to hear us." He is happy to hear your complaints. Just a side note, I often wonder if in Heaven there is a black box with the word "suggestions" engraved on it with no opening at the top. Why? Because God already knows what is best so He's not open to suggestions. He's open to your request, He is open to your thoughts, He is open to hear your heart on the matter, and yes, He even will change His mind on a matter if you approach Him in prayer but suggestions our God does not take. End of side note. So get ready child of God. He's listening to your request. He hears you. He understands you. So don't wait until your 11th hour to cry out to Father God. He may wait to answer you until then but He wants to hear it now. God later confirms what He's going to do in Psalms 37:9-10 when he cuts off the enemy.
