Don’t Forget to Call Home
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” (Philippians 4:6)
Scripture Focus: Philippians 4:4-9
Technology has made it easy for travelers to call home. Cell phones bounce our messages off satellites, and it is possible to communicate “face to face” by computer. Even airplanes have phones attached to the backs of passenger seats. We have virtually no excuse not to call home.
Christians have an open prayer line to heaven, our final home. Our Heavenly Father wants to hear from us, and He is always available to take our calls. He isn’t like those who record, “Your call is very important to me, so please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible,” but never respond. God promised, “Call to me and I will answer you” (Jeremiah 33:3).
Are you worried about current troubles or an uncertain future? If so, call Home and talk to your Heavenly Father. He is only a prayer away. Paul had a long history of trials and persecution. But he possessed God’s peace at all times because he called “Home.” We can follow his example and experience the same peace he enjoyed.
Insight: Wherever we are we can call Home to our Heavenly Father and leave our worries behind. He will listen and answer.
