I’m one of four girls, the youngest.  And one of my sisters is a doctor.  

I’ve never been much of one for going to the doctor and don’t tend to worry much about potential medical maladies.  Every once in a while I’ll call her up, say “Will I die from this?”, get my answer and move on.  I know her, I know she has the answers I’m looking for at the time, and it just makes sense to ask.

Suppose you know a doctor.  You see them around here and there and one night you’re in the same place and you’ve had a medical issue you simply have some questions about.  It may be something major.  Maybe you’re a worrier and you’ve been fearing it is.  You may have something that needs attention or you may have something that isn’t really so bad.  The doctor knows the answer.  

It would just make sense, if you are close to this doctor, to ask them your questions, to let them warn you of potential areas that need attention, or to relieve your anxieties about questionable areas. All this makes sense. By asking someone who knows, you can have direction, have clarity, relieve stress, fear, and anxiety.  Why wouldn’t you seek the counsel of someone who has all the answers you’re seeking.

Now, what questions do you have tonight?  What direction do you need, what fears are you harboring, what pitfalls might you need advance notice of?  

King of Kings.  Commander of Heaven’s Armies.  Creator of Heaven and Earth.  The Almighty.  Wonderful Counselor.  The Great Physician.

You’ve been roaming around the same gathering all night, mingling with the One who has all the answers to all the questions you will Ever have.  It just makes sense to ask Him.  

Our God came near.  You don’t approach someone, especially not from that distance, unless you actually want to be near them.  This Doctor doesn’t mind us asking work questions because He’s never off duty.  No point in giving Him a rest, He doesn’t need one.  It just makes sense.  Why stress, why worry or fret, why wonder or debate? He knows the answer and in this season so long ago, He came near that we might hear it.
