PSALM 17:6-7 RING...RING...IT'S FOR YOU.

Hello friends...

"I have CALLED upon You, for you will HEAR me, O God. Incline Your EAR to me, and HEAR my SPEECH." (Psalm 17:6)

Once again the Psalmist is in the prayer mode. He is using his vocal system to CALL God...with great confidence that God will HEAR him. Years ago...my wife Brenda's grandmother passed away. We went to the funeral home...and we were checking out the lovely flowers that people send as a show of sorrow and affection for the family. Well...we came upon a horseshoe wreath of flowers with a pink, plastic, toy phone attached and a banner with the words...JESUS CALLED. Well...ya had to laugh. Someone was serious. Of course...so began the jokes. "Hmmmm...I hope when he CALLS me...it is not a wrong number." "If he calls from Tennessee it will be a local call...but from heaven...long distance." "The number you have reached has been disconnected." "Boy...talk about reaching out and touching someone."

NOTE: Someone once said that God's phone number is Jeremiah 33:3 "CALL to Me...and I will ANSWER you, and SHOW you great and mighty things which you do not know."

Now that I've got all of those jokes out of the way...God does have a communication system between us and Him. It's called PRAYER. It most definitely can be used like a 911 emergency CALL...but it can also be used to keep in contact and just CALL to talk to Him.

We use to sing the song...JESUS ON THE MAIN LINE.

Jesus on the main line...tell Him what you want
Jesus on the main line...tell Him what you want
Jesus on the main line...tell Him what you want
Jesus on the main line now.

If you want salvation...tell Him what you want.

NOTE: The song continued with various prayer requests....ie. healing, deliverance, peace, etc.

So...next time you are surrounded by enemies...or lonely, or depressed, or happy, or just needed to talk to God...CALL HIM UP. He has His Ear INCLINED to you...and will HEAR your SPEECH...and He just might SPEAK back to you. Oh yeah...be sure to have your Bible close by...because He might want you to see a transcription of your sonic conversation with Him.
