Good Morning,
One hot cup of Door County Country Morning Blend Coffee is at my side, tugging at my taste buds and it is time to write.
I am old enough to remember the rotary phones and party lines. Back in the days of my childhood when there was just one phone in the house and it was wired to the wall. If it were a party line several homes could be on one branch line and you had to wait to make a call after others were finished with their call. Calling outside of our immediate area would require that you paid long distance fees. Phone calls tended to be few and far between and were generally shorter in time spent between two parties.
Not like it is today where there are many phones in one home, some still called land lines and cell phones galore. Calls across the nation and world are much cheaper that they were "back in the day". Text messaging and emails are sent over telephones now, with photos
What hasn't changed and has always been convenient and accessible is calling out to God. You don't have to dial anything. You are never placed on hold. Calls can be placed 24/7 and you never have to look up the number. The Bible tells us that when we call out we call to God, not some answering service with an operator who does not speak your language. You are equipped with a mouth that can place calls to God without an Apple, or Android, phone, or Verizon or Walmart services.
If God advertised directions on how to place a call to heaven it might look like this.
Jeremiah 33:3 Call to me and I will and will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
The emergency service can handle all the calls that come in at anytime. The circuits to God are never overloaded.
It's time we all spent less time on the phone with those on earth and spend more time speaking with the One who loves us most and is the expert in all things.
Food for thought.
Marty
