"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and almighty things which you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV
Many of us started our Christian walk describing this scripture as God's telephone number. Can you remember that? It was a convenient way of remembering to call to God when we needed Him. Thankfully we do not have to rely on technology to contact Him, especially with todays telephoning system: 'We are trying to connect you, please hold, your call is very important to us. Press one for finance, 2 to record your details or if you wish to speak to an advisor, press 3.' Then the awful music broken only by 'We're still trying to connect you.'
Thank goodness that we do not have to go through all of that to speak to God. He tells us to call on Him and He will answer and that is a promise. With the world's system of connection it can be hours but, with God we have an instant connection.His door is always open. We don't even have to have an appointment, He's always ready for us. Try that with your bank manager, general manager or even the prime minister and you'll be turned down. But not with God.
So why don't we call on Him more often? We get ourselves into problem after problem, attempting to sort things out that there is no easy answer to. We fret, become flustered, frightened and throw a wobbly when really, all we have to do is call on Jesus. How many times have you worried about something for days on end when all you had to do was call on Him. And really, why worry anyway. Jesus told us not to, so really it's a command. Most of the things that we worry about never happen anyway. Just think, all that nervous energy you have burnt up for no reason at all. Worry is a killer, it can seriously affect us medically. Don't do it. Jesus knows best.
Many of us have conversations with ourselves throughout the day. You can see people's lips moving as you pass them in the street. Now they could be on a mobile talking to a friend but, there is every chance they are having a conversation with themselves. If that is you, why not talk to Jesus instead. You will get more out of it than having a moan about something to yourself and it is a great way of keeping the connection open to God. Try it, it makes sense.
