Calling

He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20

I remember phones from previous years that probably seem primitive compared to today’s phones. The dialing mechanism, operator connecting calls for the parties involved, party lines, and phones on walls were at one time an exciting invention compared to the phone that sat on a table. The desire was to have the most up-to-date push button phones and then came trim line phones and let's not forget the new colored phones of red, tan and later pink.

The first cellphone I remember having is a phone in a bag. I think the connection might have been better but that could be that there were fewer phones and less competition for the wavelengths.  

Have you ever thought of when you need to call on God the amount of competition you must face in the moment?  If that doesn’t make you realize the wonders of His power. 

I have never once had to call upon God and had to wait for an operator to connect me, reached a busy signal, voice mail, waited for a party line, reached a wrong number or been disconnected from being out of a service area. 

I have always known that God was available and with me every moment of my life. He listens no matter how many others call upon Him. 

He answers new or old faithful callers. He listens to all calls whether they are ones made in crying sobs or those made with bubbling excitement. He listens to every word, tone and feeling the caller has. 

He answers every call, maybe not with the answer one wants to hear but with an answer that is planned to be in your life.
