Psalms 3:4
I cried unto Adonai with my voice, and he heard me out of His Holy hill. Selah.
Our Master Yeshua told us that in order to see His Kingdom we needed to become as little children. What baby cries and does not expect to be heard? And yet in our ‘growing up’ our assurance of getting answered when we ‘cry’ seems to decrease. The most simple act practiced by babies requires us ‘adults’ to own the understanding of great educated theological principles. And as the world goes on, we seem to become more and more ignorant of the basic principles of faith.
God hasn't changed. Whereas in our short-sightedness we think Him lenient or even absent, He is near, and not willing that any should perish.
In his repentant hour, even the most wicked Torah-breaking sinner can call unto His Creator, just like the baby does. The Father will be right there, even waiting at the top of the road where He has for years hoped for his return. Here he is, teary-eyed with great anticipation of that blessed moment, with His great desire to answer our prayer. During our time of purging, we can call on Him, Yeshua is right there with us all the way through it, a High-Priest able to empathize with us, ready to pour the atonement blood shed for our redemption and reconciliation.
What father enjoys seeing His children suffer? Yes, the Father takes responsibility for sometimes allowing us to reap the results of our foolishness but when we go through the fire, He is with us, and even through the waters, they do not overflow us. Even in exile, He has been with His people ready to answer their call of repentance and return to Him.
