Would you be Able to Ask the Lord to Bow Down His Ear to you?

I have always pictured this in my mind’s eye as a father bending down to listen to his small child, but this week I had a further revelation.

David did in Psalm 40 and again in Psalm 86.

Psalm 40:1 “I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.” KJ

Psalm 86:1 “Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.” KJ

I have always pictured this in my mind’s eye as a father bending down to listen to his small child, but this week I had a further revelation.

A father bending down to his child is something you can see nearly every day. What I had failed to see before was the enormity of David asking the God of the universe to bend down and listen to him. This wasn’t just a father bending down to listen, but God.

Most of us would never think of even approaching the president or some other person of high office, much less asking them to bend over and listen to us.

David’s ability to do that speaks of relationship, the relationship purchased for us by Christ that not only gives us that special father/child relationship with God, but bids us to “…come boldly unto the throne of grace…”

Hebrews 4: 14-16 “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” KJ

These verses of Scripture give quiet times with God a whole new meaning. We can boldly bring our joys and sorrows, hurts and needs, and even ask the Lord to bend over and listen to us.

How about it? Are you ready to go talk with your Father about your needs and desires?
