Take His Call

Remember rotary phones?  I do.  I also remember how excited I was when we got a longer cord for our yellow rotary dial wall phone.  Then I could sit in our window seat in the dining room instead of standing.  You realize talking to my boyfriend took hours. haha Our home was a two story, so getting a Princess phone for the upstairs area was a dream come true.  LOL Now, fast forward to the high-tech phones we have now. Listen and speak through your car connection.  Listen and speak from your watch (Dick Tracy is smiling). Carry your phone to the grocery store, shopping, gym, walking, riding your bike…anywhere. Babies even have these phones and watch videos on them or push buttons for animated games.

Psalm 139, one of my favorite psalms, reminds us that God knows what we are thinking and planning on saying before even one word is uttered. He knew us in our mother’s womb. Nothing is hidden from Him.

God is going to call us Home to Heaven, but until that time comes, He also calls us to use the gifts of the Spirits He has given us.  He calls us to remind us of His unconditional love.  He calls us to be stronger, be kinder, be more caring, be forgiving, be thankful, be generous, be more loving, be a blessing to others. Take His call. Of course, this is not a ring on your phone or a buzz on your watch, or AI on your home device. He will call you through His Holy Word. Perhaps the Holy Spirit will speak to you within your heart or through others to you. Our Heavenly Father will call you, be ready to listen. No long cord needed.  No batteries needed.  No AI tech to receive His message.  Love one another. Be open to hearing from Him. You are His. Listen.
