Isn't it a delightful thought...God is never tired or sleepy? He's never impatient or irritated. I can't do a darn thing to cause Him to want to reject or turn away from me.
Imagine what our lives would be like if we lived with that reality everyday...trusting His glory was our rear guard. For me the realization that He's much bigger and stronger and far more capable than me is very reassuring. To some this is a simple concept, but to those of us who were kids of alcoholics -- experiencing parental inversion (being given adult responsibilities when only a child) the idea is more novel. There is nothing I can do to frustrate or irritate God...I don't have the power to do it. He's never-changing, unlike the adults in my growing up years who communicated "you made me so mad" or "I wouldn't have done that if you..." It puts too much false power into the hands of a child...seemingly simple words, but deeply profound emotional and psychological impact.
So, today, I stand free thinking about how big He is -- how confident He is being God -- mostly that He is in a very good mood. So let's approach Him with grace to find help in our time of need.
