The Weaver King
There's a legend about a king who wanted the most beautiful wall hangings in his palace. To everyone’s surprise, the king hired kids for the job.
On the day of the children’s arrival, the king revealed a secret to them, “Before I became emperor, I was a weaver.
“If you ever need help, you can always come to me.”
The following weeks and months, the girls and boys worked non- stop, but their silk kept tangling, their fabric ruined by the holes at the center of their designs. None of their tapestries were worthy of a king’s palace.
Except for one girl’s. One tiny girl kept mysteriously churning out masterpieces of gold and red thread, full of images of tigers and unicorns, almost as if by magic.
Dumbfounded, they finally asked her the secret to her success.
She smiled and said simply, “Every morning, I go to the emperor and ask him for help.”
The king had offered to help—and only one of them had taken him up on his offer.
The King of the universe gives you the very same offer. No matter the time or place, God promises to be available to you. (Helping His kids is one of His favorite things.)
Remember your King’s door is wide open.
Jesus, You’re pretty busy, but You promise that Your door is wide open—that I can go to you at any time. That blows my mind!
