Isaiah 55:6. NKJV
When I was a social worker, I remember a manager whose motto was, 'My door is always open.' Yet it wasn't; whenever there was an urgent need, this particular manager had one too.
Thank goodness that Jesus isn't like that. His door is always open - wide, 24/7. He actually invites us to come to Him with confidence, any time of day or night. On those long nights, where we have nagging problems, sleep can evade us. Yet, He is only a quick 'Hello,' away from us. He longs to spend time with us and is the best point of reference where a problem is concerned.
Where else could you get this immediate response? Try calling in a bank and asking to see the manager and all you'll receive, is your name in the appointment book. There is not much chance of an instant response.
There are many times in our lives when we need to unload - to get things off our chest and seek direction. The thing is, where to go? In this day and age, everyone seems to be busy. But Jesus is never too busy to see His children.
You may have a breakdown in your car. You can call the emergency services, but more than likely, it will be a two hour wait. Yet, if you have a breakdown in your life, the throne room is always open and with confidence, you can walk straight up to the King of kings:
'Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession, (15) for we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. (16) Let us, therefore, come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in our time of need.' Hebrews 4:14-16
Jesus knows the struggles that we have and He's ready to help. He's been there. He didn't sin though, but He got the T shirt covered in His Blood with the slogan written on it, 'I did this for you.'
All it takes is to call on Him, 'Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon Him while He is near.' For those who don't know Jesus as their Lord, I appeal to you. There'll be a time when it is too late to call on Him. Do it now, while He is available!
'Lord Jesus, My life is a mess. Please help me. Come and live in my heart, forgive my sins, fill me with Your Holy Spirit and be my Lord and Saviour. Amen.
