Read 1 Kings 19:11-13
Suppose you had a problem which was so, so, huge only the President or Prime Minster or king or the head of your country could resolve it. So, you approach his office and send a mail and weeks later you get a reply that you have been granted an audience and he will meet you for 15 mins six months later.
Now you wait eagerly for that date, preparing your application, file, arguments and case details. You hope you will get a favorable decision. This is a real-world scenario!
Now think about the heavenly world. We face a problem today, and right now we get to escalate it to the Heavenly king through a personal hotline and even if His answer may take time, He provides interim relief. How great is that!
And He does it day by day, minute by minute, looking after the lives of 8 billion people! 24X7!
We may not meet God in wind, earthquake or fire, but for sure He is with us today and every day in the simple ordinary events of life. And when we call on Him, I know He will always be there to pick up the hotline or open the door, because we need not wait for an appointment to speak to Him; we simply start talking and communicating.
Like Paul our belief stands firm in this verse from 2 Thessalonians 3:3 -
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
