Ecclesiates
Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher,
vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun;
and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

Pastor Rich McCarrell explained to his young son how his secretary screened his phone calls at the church office. He said, " If your mom calls me and i'm busy, the church secretary will tell her what i'm doing, and then Mom will decide if i should be interrupted or if she should leave a message."
Then he said to his son, " If you call me, you'll be put right through. I want you to know that you can call me anytime, because you're my son."
A few days later, the church secretary put a call through to the pastor from his son. He said hello and asked what he could do for his son. He replied, "Nothing, Dad. I just wanted to make sure i could actually get through to you that easily."
We too always have instant access to our Father in heaven. There's no secretary to screen His calls. No need for a descision on whether or not we should bother Him. No need to leve a message so that He can get back to us later. The psalmist reminds us, " The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry" (Ps.34:15)
Because Jesus has provided the way by His death and resurrection, you can have boldness and confidence as you draw near to your Father (Heb.4:16) - Anne Cetas
