I would like to talk to you today about the
importance of a powerline to God. In
Washington, DC, there is a hotline that
connects the White House with the
Kremlin. Immediate exchange of
communications is available to either
party twenty-four hours a day, seven
days a week, 365 days of the year. God
has an open circuit something like that
on a heavenly telephone with you.
Sometime ago, Chicago had two major
air disasters in the space of about two
weeks. The second one, a Florida bound
jet, brought sudden death to the thirty-eight
men, women, and children aboard. At Florida
airport, Arthur Post waited for his wife
and children to arrive. When news of the
crash came to those waiting at the Tampa
terminal, Arthur Post dropped unashamedly
to his knees and began praying for the safety
of his family. A picture was taken from the
news with his head in his hands, kneeling
beside the ticket counter begging God for
His help.
Later, news did reach Mr. Post that his
family was safe. They had missed the flight
because of car trouble on the way to the
airport. What they thought was an
inconvenient misfortune proved to be
God’s divine intervention. As His child,
you have immediate help in time of trouble.
A favorite Bible verse in Isaiah promises
that “Even before you call, I will answer.”
Share with Christ Jesus the burdens of your
heart.
Father, let prayer always be a forethought in
my Christian life and not an afterthought.
Amen.
And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. Isaiah 65:24 KJV
