Who You Going To Call?

  You might already know that all numbers in television shows start with the same prefix, 555. The reason; this prefix doesn’t go anywhere. There isn’t anybody with a number that is a 555 number. If they used real numbers poor folks would be inundated with calls (like those poor folks at 867-5309 who keep getting calls for Jenny). Even the fake numbers get used again and again. For example, 555-2368 will get you the Ghostbusters, the hotel room from Memento, Jim Rockford of The Rockford Files, and Jaime Sommers from The Bionic Woman, among others.

  You might not have a famous number but still get way too many calls. So, we screen calls and block numbers and put ourselves on no-call lists. But You know who doesn’t do that? God

  No, God isn’t listed in the yellow pages but he does provide us with means to contact him twenty-four seven. His ear is ever ready to listen, his heart open to our words, his thoughts attune to our needs

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Philippians 4:6 

  Prayer is an amazing blessing that God has given us. How special would it be to have the direct number to the president, or be able to ring up the best doctor in the world?  We have someone far greater and more powerful ready to listen to us.

  Why are we not using it more?
