I was sitting at my desk one day last week when the phone rang, as it does so often, but on the other end of the phone who a fellow who is 4,000 miles away. It sounded like he was in the next room. On the phone was my friend and missionary David Keaton who serves with his wife, Carey, in Peru.
One of my favorite people. He encourages me so much. Rarely do I get to hear from him unless he is home. But he is on the phone. Technology is awesome. Then I stop and think.
Psalm 27:8 (nlt) --- My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me." And my heart responds, "L ord, I am coming."
Like David is 4,000 miles away, some people think that God is light years away from us when He is so close all the time. God's desire is for us. To love us, share with us, spend time with us and more. He is asking for that. How do we answer? David, the king not the missionary, was headed to spend time with His master and God.
Are we headed there? The connection is awesome. High speed at it's peak. Offered free of change and unlimited to the time we can spend.
How do we connect with God? How is He that close? God is real, and He is personal. Sounds like He's in the next room, not far off. Check Him out.
Ephesians 3:14-21 (nlt)
When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
