God is Big

God is big. Very BIG! In fact, He is so big that the earth is His footstool.
“Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live” (Ps 116:2).
As the Bible says, He bends over or inclines His ear and pays close attention. At slightest sound of a prayer motivated by faith, God springs to action.
I don’t know what goes on in heaven, but maybe He calls the angels, “Come quickly. There is faith. There is prayer on earth,” as they hover over those who pray to prepare action that would be in the eternal best interest of those who pray.
Notice that He prepares to move according to what is best for you in light of eternity. That may not be exactly what you prayed for. But because He is big, old, and eternal, He is much smarter than you. He wants you to make it home more than you want to go home. Thus, He does what is best for His praying ones.
When that becomes a reality, it takes care of many questions.
