She sat there in her wheelchair, badly handicapped, but with a radiant smile on her face. “Don’t you ever feel down, asked the preacher. “Doesn’t your handicap bother you and discourage you?”
“Oh, no,” she replied with a smile. “You see, I have God’s telephone number. I can call Him up anytime I want to. His line is never busy. He always answers the phone Himself, and He always has the answer to my problem.”
“God’s telephone number, huh? What do you mean you have God’s telephone number?” “I have it all right,” she said. “It’s Jeremiah 33:3. That’s where God says, “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”
Wow! It’s really there! God has promised to answer. He will do things beyond our imagination, if we will just call (cf. Psalm 50:15; Psalm 91:15).
Now that we have God’s number, have we called Him lately? (1 Thessalonians 5:17; cf. Acts 12:5; Romans 1:9; 1 Thessalonians 2:13).
