Those Exasperating Phone Calls

"Hello?"

"This call is for Jennifer F.(I'll leave the rest of her name off in case there really is someone by that name). It is a matter of importance. Please give us a call at 855--- ---- at your earliest convenience."

Now, if anyone knows me, they know I google anything I am suspicious of. So, I find this is a scam number. After getting the same recorded message and not wanting to give them the pleasure of dialing the number they give, I am seriously thinking about disconnecting our home phone and just using our cell phones. If these calls were the only ones we were getting (on our unlisted number), by the way, I might not be so frustrated. However, there are numerous other calls with a robot on the other end.

As I thought about this today after hanging up the phone from that scam call, I thought how wonderful it is that God doesn't get irritated at us no matter how many times we call on Him. He is always there; He always hears us and He always answers in His time. Our calls to Him might be like the scam caller said "a matter of importance" or they may be calls just to thank Him for all He does for us each day. Whatever they are, He wants to hear from us.

"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us." 1 John 5:14 (NIV)
