TODAY'S LESSON: GOD'S TELEPHONE
Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving
let your requests be made known unto God.
PHILIPPIANS 4:6
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU MADE A PHONE CALL
IN HOPES OF GETTING SOME HELP
ONLY TO FIND THAT THE PERSON
TO WHOM YOU WANT TO SPEAK WITH
ISN'T EVEN THERE?
FORTUNATELY FOR US,
IT ISN'T THAT WAY WITH GOD.
...for he hath said,
I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
HEBREWS 13:5b
THINK ABOUT THE LAST TIME YOU HAD TO STAND IN A LINE
OR WERE PUT ON HOLD BECAUSE
"ALL LINES WERE BUSY".
NOT SO WITH GOD.
But they that wait upon the LORD
shall renew their strength;
ISAIAH 40:31a
(YES, WE STILL HAVE TO WAIT, BUT LOOK WHAT WE GET IN RETURN)
...they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.
ISAIAH 40:31b
BESIDES ALL OF THAT,
ASK YOURSELF,
WHO MADE TIME?
GOD DID.
SO, IF HE MADE TIME
AND WE'RE HAVING TO WAIT ON HIM;
THAT MEANS OUR TIME IS HIS TIME.
For a thousand years in thy sight |
are but as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night.
PSALM 90:4
NOW, HERE'S THE ONE I LIKE.
YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE DIRECTLY,
BUT YOU USUALLY END UP TALKING TO THE SECRETARY
OR EVEN WORSE-A MACHINE.
HOW ANNOYING IS THAT?
ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE TO PUNCH IN 50 NUMBERS FIRST.
WITH GOD WE HAVE 24 HOUR A DAY ACCESS.
HIS ONLY REQUEST:
THAT WE FIRST GO THROUGH HIS SON.
Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.
JOHN 14:6
WAIT!
YOU SAID THAT WITH GOD
I WOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANYBODY.
YES I DID,
BUT REMEMBER JESUS IS GOD.
I and my Father are one.
JOHN 10:30
