X-Ray Machine

 

When Bennett was little, he lost one of his precious Hot Wheels cars in the sand box in the back yard.  So he came to me, interrupted my work, and said, “Granddaddy, could you use your X-ray machine to find my Hot Wheels car?”  Well first, he assumed that I had an “X-ray machine”.  And next he assumed that I would stop what I was doing to use my X-ray machine to find a little car.  But that car was important to him, so it was important to me.  I got a rake and found the car right away.  Clever Granddaddy.  Hey, isn’t that how we are with God?  Usually, we only pray because we have a need.  We want God to stop what He’s doing (running the Universe) and help us tiny little humans with our tiny little problems.  But God stops and helps us because he loves us.  David said in Psalm 103:13&14, “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.”  My prayer is, “Thank you, Lord for your goodness and kindness to me each and every day.”  Can I get an, "Amen”?!
