Unlimited Coverage

Today’s technology is amazing.

Take cell phones for example.

One day, you decide to take a trip and find yourself far away from home.

You decide to tell your friend about it and so you get out your cell phone.

You then dial your friend’s cell number.

At the very same time your friend has also decided to take a trip and is also far away from home.

Suddenly his cell phone rings.

He answers and the two of you are able to talk about the trips you are on.

You had no idea where your friend was.

Yet the two of you are able to clearly communicate as if there was no distance between you.

Of course there are factors that could prevent this from happening.

Perhaps you accidentally dialed the wrong number.

Perhaps your phone has lost its charge.

Perhaps your phone is not getting a signal.

Perhaps your friend is already busy talking to someone else.

Perhaps you forgot to take your phone with you.

I have no idea how cell phones are able to connect with each other.

I have no idea how simply dialing a number can connect you to a phone regardless of how far apart they are.

Even though I do not how they work, I am still able to benefit from this technology.

Our walk with God is a lot like that.

We can communicate with God through prayer at any time from any location.

We do not have to understand how it works in order to benefit from it.

All we need to know is that it does work.

God provides a constant power source and an uninterruptable signal.

We never have to be concerned about getting a busy signal.

God is capable of listening to an infinite number of prayers at the same time from all over the world.

To be honest, the only weak link in the chain is us.

Just as easily as we can forget to take our cell phone with us, we can also forget to pray.

Once we recognize this, and correct it, we find Him ready to listen.

1 Thessalonians 5:16 -18 (NET) - Always rejoice, constantly pray, in everything give thanks. For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
