Does it almost startle you when you call someone who isn’t in your daily calling circle, and they pick up the phone after a ring or two, and you hear a live voice say, “hello?”
That happened to me yesterday! I talk of a pastor who is very near and dear to my heart. I have been thinking about her so much lately, and yesterday, I had the strongest urge to call her. (The Holy Spirit) I was in the middle of combing my hair, stopped, looked up her information, and called.
The phone rang a couple of times, and a voice I know and love said, “hello.” I was startled for a moment; it wasn’t a message telling me to leave a message. I wasn’t put on hold; I didn’t get a busy signal, nor instructed to call back at another time. No, it was a voice of love, and my heart was instantly warm.
Do you know who else picks up the minute we call? Our Heavenly Father! His word tells us to pray without ceasing! Do you know of anyone else in your life that wants you to talk to them without ceasing? Doubt it!
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 ESV “Pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
So, if you are lonely, He’s there to visit. If you are troubled, He’s right beside you. Scared, He who is in me is greater than he who is in this world. (1 John 4:4) Are you rejoicing? He’s thrilled to share your joy!
Pray without ceasing: driving in your car, taking a long hot shower, moving from one piece of furniture to the other, dusting or in the laundry room as you sort, and fold laundry. Wherever you are, He’s there too!
Give Him a call, strike up a conversation, or crack open your Bible; I bet you will be glad you did! Be blessed and I’m so happy you joined me today. 🥰
