In His glorious messy way, yes. Yes He is!
Another rainy morning landed all types of conversation. My four-year-old gladly explained, "There goes Jesus slobbering all over us today. God is slobbering on us again!"
My nine-year-old wanted to play with the little boys, telling them that he can make it stop raining. You know, the old drive under a bridge tree and make it stop raining? did anyone else's Dad blow their mind with that trick as a kid?
Well, my six-year-old quickly responded, "No! You have to pray to God! Only He can make it stop raining!" Then he proceeded to pray. And guess what… God made the downpour turn into the slightest drizzle you have ever seen. And of course exclamations arose immediately. "He did it Miss Beth!!!! He answered my prayers! He really hears me!"
Yes! Yes. He. Does. He hears the fervent prayer of a six-year-old praying about rain - who believed in faith that God is the only who can change the rain. And he hears our prayers too! May we pray with the same fervency and faith of the little six-year-old in my backseat this morning.
We praise you Jesus for all you are and all you're doing! Slobber on us all you want!
Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. (Colossians 4:2 ESV)
