December 15, 2009 ~ Call to Him

Please know when you call God you never get a busy signal!




Today's Scripture:


Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.

Jeremiah 33:3


Everyone loves getting an invitation. "It's a party. Come one, come all." "We want you. Be there or be square.""Give me a call when you have a chance. I'd like to talk." "Text or IM (instant message) me later." Invitations are always welcomed. It means you're special, you're important, you're a valuable person.

An invitation from God, though? A call into his throne room? A chance to sit at his feet and just drink in the atmosphere? It's right there in Jeremiah 33. God has given you the invitation of all time. He literally commands you to go to him. Spend time together. Talk. Converse. Listen. Learn. Or just enjoy being with each other. He invites you to spend time with him alone. This verse is not for the special few. This is not written for the royals.

God gets personal. He wants to make your life fulfilling and happy.

Selah people' and friends think about it. When you call on God, you never get a busy signal or voicemail. You never hear, "Hey, I'm busy doing something right now. Call again later." Or, "Look, I'm into a big problem at the moment, so just bug off." God is always available. Not only will he be there when you call, but you can know God's true heart. He will not only answer, but he will take a step further: He will tell you other things, great and hidden things, fresh insights that you haven't known. He'll give you the real scoop on anything you want to know.

"Call on God today. Ask him a question, any question. Share a concern. Consider a thought. This is God's invitation to you, and the wonderful thing is it lasts forever."
