This afternoon I got a text message from my son. He was just letting me know that he was drinking a bottle of water that had been bottled in our hometown. He was sitting in class and apparently it was less than interesting, thus the compelling need to text me immediately.
Texting is the primary way that my children communicate these days. After Manning's text I started thinking about what it would be like if God had a cell phone. What if your cell phone company offered you a plan with daily texts from God?
If God did have a cell phone, I believe his number would be Jeremiah 33:3. "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." I imagine some of His texts might read like this:
"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you" Jeremiah 1:5
"For I know the plans I have for you" Jeremiah 29:11
"I have loved you with an everlasting love" Jeremiah 31:3. And these are just from the book of Jeremiah!
Fortunately, we can hear from God daily just by picking up our Bible. His Holy Word in its entirety. It addresses every problem that we might encounter. It brings peace and comfort when we are troubled and rest when we are weary. We can go straight to the throne of God with any request or petitions we have.
God is waiting to speak to you daily. Just listen for Him.

Amen! I am so glad that we can *call* on the LORD at any time. Just knowing that HE is there 24/7 is amazing to me; but to think that HE will answer and as Jeremiah 33:3 says "tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know" is good news! We have a 24/7 life line! I love how you shared that He is waiting to speak to us daily. Sweet encouragement!
Texting is our oldest teen's way of communicating with me too! I've had to come out of the stone age to keep up with them!
Blessings to you!
