READ: Psalm 34:4-18
This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. Psalm 34:6
Historian Cassius Dio recorded a revealing event from the life of Hadrian,
the Roman Emperor from AD 117 to 138: Once, when a woman made a request of
[Hadrian] as he passed by on a journey, he at first said to her, I havent time, but afterwards, when she cried out, Cease, then, being emperor, he turned about and granted her a hearing.
How often we say or hear, Not now, Im busy or Im sorry, but I just dont have time. Yet, our heavenly Father, the Master and Creator of everything, always has time for us. The psalmist wrote: The eyes of the
Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry....
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles (Ps. 34:15-17).
God is not like the emperor or a busy executive who tries to avoid interruption. Instead, the Fathers joy is to listen and respond to His children. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such
as have a contrite spirit (v.18).
Hadrians afterthought was, I must take time for my subjects.
Gods first thought is, I always have time for those who come to Me.
Whenever we need to talk, the Lord is ready to listen. David C. McCasland
I love to dwell upon the thought
That Jesus cares for me;
It matters not what life may bring
He loves me tenderly. Adams
