Awakened at 2:00 am by a restless basset, the issue I had been pondering when I fell asleep returned to my mind. A writing project has me stumped. While shivering at the back door waiting for Sam to finish his survey of the yard, the thought hit me. Call God. You have His number.
Long before the advent of phones, cell phones, emails, the internet, texting or social networking God inserted His contact information into scripture.
His number is Jeremiah 33:3 - Call on me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things which you have not known.
As a baby Christian I was taught to remember that this was God's phone number. At the time, we were not too far removed from when phone numbers began with letters followed by numbers. The first two letters in a word were the pre-fix for the phone number. For example, Mission 3-0123 would be dialed as MI3-0123. (OK, having to explain this makes me feel really, really dated.)
The modern day equivalent of God's phone number would be the internet search engine. Perhaps the concept would be better understood if you just imagined "googling" God.
It makes no difference which generation of technology is most familiar. The eternal truth is that if you call upon the Lord, He will answer you. And, He will tell you great and hidden things which you have not known if you will take the time to listen.
