God Is Willing
Your Father answers when you call
Today's Scripture
“Suddenly, a man with leprosy approached him and knelt before him. ‘Lord,’ the man said, ‘if you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean.’”
Opening thought
Every responsible father is always willing, ready, responsive, and available to meet the basic needs of his children. It does not matter what time the child calls.
The devotional message
As a father, I may sometimes be sleeping when my daughter comes to me. She does not stop to consider how tired I am; she wakes me up to carry her or to give her water to drink. I do not hesitate to meet her needs, because it is my responsibility to do so.
Our Ever-Willing Father
Our God is like this. He is our heavenly Father. He neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121:4). He is never tired of hearing our prayers. When we are weak, He makes us strong. He carries us in the hollow of His hand. He is ever willing to help us.
The Scripture says, "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25, KJV). God is ever willing, and more than able, to save all who come to Him and call on Him sincerely. He ever lives to make intercession for us as our Mediator.
The man with leprosy said to Jesus, "Lord, if you are willing, you can heal me." Brothers and sisters, God is always willing to help us. Are you willing to call on Him?

Closing prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You that You never slumber nor sleep and that You are never tired of hearing my prayers. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for ever living to intercede for me. Like the man with leprosy, I come to You today, and I believe You are willing. Touch me, strengthen me, and make me whole. In Jesus' name, amen.
