Have you got the latest cell phone yet? The new improved
do-it-all cell phone is probably the most desired product
of 2008. Was there life before cell phones? How was it possible
to live without them? They have become a way of life. Some
can't do much of anything without a phone at their ear.
I was at the store the other day. While I was waiting to
pay, the lady in front of me was balancing a baby on one arm,
a toddler in a stroller, her wallet in her other hand, handing
money to the cashier-all while talking on her cell phone!
With today's technology we can call almost anyone, anywhere,
anytime, about anything. It's become our primary method of
communication.
But which came first, the cell phone or prayer? For God's
people, prayer is supposed to be our primary method of communication.
We can have a direct, hands free connection with our all-powerful
God anytime. We don't have to use our minutes and shouldn't
wait for nights or weekends.
In fact, we should pray first. We don't even have to speed
dial. Prayer is faster than that! Our words instantly come
before Almighty God who loves us more than anyone on our contact
list and has unlimited power to help us. We never have to
leave a message. He's always ready to hear us. Psalm 55:17
states, "Evening and morning and at noon I will pray,
and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice."
The Father allowed His Son to die for us so that we may have
free, open and complete communication with them. No dropped
calls, you're never out of range, no call waiting. The call
of prayer is always answered. Psalm 66:19-20 "But God
has listened; he has heard my prayer. Praise God, who did
not ignore my prayer or hold back his love from me."

While the cell phone is cool technology, it can't compare
to the spiritual communication we have with God. Let's be
sure to practice Colossians 4:2 - "Devote yourselves
to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart."
