Jesus Is A Busy Man/King

I was at dance practice last week with my girls (sonctified) (I sort of like to do everything and so I teach dance), when one exclaimed "Jesus Christ," and the other responded saying "Don't you know Jesus is a busy man?" I thought that was funny, but then the writer in me bagan to twitch and I started thinking, how busy is Jesus? and is He so busy that He wants us to call on him only when we need Him?

As if God knew I needed some answers, our pastor preached that Sunday explaining that even though Jesus had been exalted as the King of all kings he is still sitting at the right hand of  God, interceding on our behalf (Philippians 2:5-10). First of all, it is so humbling that the King of king still decides to love us through prayer. So Yes! Jesus is very busy. He is making sure that our Father has mercy on us because honestly, if God decided to release his anger we will all be dead. Imagine, He can kill you with a blink of an eye but He still decides to keep you alive. Can you question God? Do you question a maker? No! Yet we are always made aware of His mercies!!!! (Stops to praise dance).

The point is that we usually use the Lord's name in vain (Exodus 20:7) in situations where we can either say Thank You Lord Jesus or just Oh Mine! and I am guilty of this too (shy face). I think it is even worse when we do this with a cuss word, in any language. Imagine how many times Jesus has been interrupted by your OMGEEE!! or God! (As an example this should not be considered as vanity).

The good thing about this is that He is always available. Even more amazing he has given us the Holy Spirit (John 14) to help us with the daily needs including your jeering and your wild exclamations. Next time you want to interrupt his prayers, think can I just swallow my complaints? Can I call on someone else? Maybe I should simply stay positive.
