Speed Dial

 

...among those who called

       upon His name.

They called to the LORD,

   and He answered them.

In the pillar of the cloud

         He spoke to them...

              Psalm 99. 6-7

(Who are we calling?

Who is on speed dial for us?

Is God our first response,

           or last resort?

When we call upon the LORD,

He does not just pick up.

He has already been listening.

He is already responding,

  sometimes in the most unlikely,

  unexpected, and unusual ways.

Because God knows

            another way through.

    And that would be with Him.

It is not that God shows up.

        He is already here.

We are the ones who are late

     in recognizing Him.)

O LORD,

You are here with us.

May we hear Your voice,

    even through the chaos.

You always answer us

        in some monumental way.

Help us to not just seek Your path,

      but to seek You.

The difficulty we face

   may be just to redirect

   our hearts to You.

May we not just hear You,

    but respond.

We cannot do this life alone.

You never intended us to.
