Psalm 99: 6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel was among those who called on his name; they called on the LORD and he answered them.
They called, and He answered them. Moses, Aaron, Samuel, these are just a few people who went to God first. The list would become quite long if we were to start naming every person written about, or that we know that went to God first, I guess that begs the question would our name appear on that list? These people…they did not consult friends, first, they did not go get a general consensus, take a poll, or ask around about an issue, then went and prayed about it. They went direct to the source. When faced with impossible odds, when placed against impossible tasks, or having to deal with impossible people, it is the people who bend a knee first that find the ability to take the “im” off of impossible. Your friends will typically agree that it is impossible, your enemies will depend on you believing that it is impossible, the devil will insist that it is impossible, but the Lord will always, always remind you that nothing is impossible, nothing is to big, for the One who created it all. It is like when you buy something and it comes in a million little pieces, or you only get the instructions in French, what do you do? You pick up the phone and call customer service. They will be the ones that save you from hours of trying to wing it, they will be the ones that keep you form having a parts percentage left over. Today it is as easy as that, you can make a phone call, or Google it, and you will find the help you need to complete even the most difficult earthly task. SO why do we insist on winging it through life? We have a direct line to the Lord, He is the ultimate fix it hotline. No press one for English or 2 for Spanish, He speaks your language, and your dialect, no leave a message and someone will return your call, no set hours of operation, and never will you find a busy signal. We want the answers, yet we often fail to ask the question, we want the blessing, but forget the praise, we want the result, but leave out the prayer. Call on the Lord, He will answer, He has been doing it long before any of us showed up, and you know what? HE wants to hear from you. He wants you to lean on Him. He sent His Son so that we might feel that love and caring even more deeply. Don’t deny the Lord the one thing He asks of us, don’t deny yourself the gifts, the blessings, and the healing that comes from relying on the Lord. Call on Him, call His name and He will answer, call now, THE Operator is standing by to take your call.
God Bless,
