I went to call a friend of mine the other day. The phone rang. It was answered and I asked if he was home. The person said, “I’m sorry, you have the wrong number.”
I was surprised. I have called this number many times! What happened? I tried again. Same response, wrong number.
I am sure that this has happened to all of us at one time and yes, it can be very annoying. What happened? Did I misdial? Did they change the number, wrong area code?
Why do I keep getting a wrong number for someone I was once close to?
That is how I feel when I cannot get God to listen to me! Me! I am important! He needs to answer ME! God, I need an answer NOW!
I demand to know why aren’t you listening to me? No answer. So I turn away, and I stop trying. I am hurt, angry, and upset because I cannot get through.
And God answers quietly but I cannot hear Him. He is trying to answer, but He cannot get through because of all the static on the line. He hears me. But He is waiting for the static on the line to clear up.
Here is His message.
“But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear“. Isaiah 59:2
“They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts”. Ephesians 4:18.
How do I reconnect with God? Remember the story of the prodigal son and how he was welcomed back home with arms open and full of forgiveness.
And look at Romans 8:31-39
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[j]
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
AMEN!
That None Should Perish
