I can remember as a kid, I’d often try to get Mama’s attention, which wasn’t an easy task; she was always focused on whatever she was doing at the time. Mama had a strong work ethic, and when she was in the middle of a project, she didn’t have much time for anything else. I’d say, “Mama” and a lot of times hear nothing back. So I’d say it again, “Mama!” The second time I always added a little more gusto. She may not turn towards me, but she’d always say “What do you want?” She just knew that I “wanted” something if I called out to her. To tell the truth, just the fact that she acknowledged me was enough, really. But of course, if she felt it was something she needed to do or listen to, she’d tune me in.
A lot of times we think He doesn’t hear us the first time, so we ramp it up a little and call out again. Of course we believe it when He says in His Word that His ear is always open to us. Sometimes we need to hear, “What do you want?” and it’s enough just to know that He’s listening.
