God Doesn't Have a Phone Tree

In the age of cell phones, if someone doesn’t want to take your call, they silence it, decline it, or send it to voice mail. 


A friend shared a recent communication frustration. “I was trying to get information. I climbed every branch of the business’s phone tree and left three voice mails—no response. I called in the morning, at lunch time, and in mid-afternoon. Finally, I drove down to the office and camped out in the waiting room until I could speak to a real person who could help me. Sheesh! Three days of my life that I can never get back again.” 

I’m thankful God doesn’t take days to get back to us. Isaiah 65:24 tells us he’s the exact opposite. “Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear.” 

Unlike people who dodge our calls, ignore our messages, and refuse to respond to our requests, God answers us before we call and before we begin speaking. No ten-limb phone tree to climb, just the kind, comforting voice of God saying, “How may I help you?” 

How can this truth impact your prayer life? Think on this today.
