God's Voicemail
We have all learned to live with voice mail as a necessary part of modern life. But you may have wondered,What if God decided to install voice mail?
Imagine praying and hearing this:Thank you for calling My Father's House. Please select one of the following options:
What if God used these familiar excuses:
- Press 1 for GENERAL REQUESTS
- Press 2 for THANKSGIVING
- Press 3 for COMPLAINTS
- Press 4 for HEALING
- Press 5 for HELP WITH THE IRS
- Press 6 for RAIN
- Press 7 for "JUST SAYING HI!"
- Press 8 for LOTTERY WINNING NUMBERS (good luck; we just guess, too)
- Press 9 for ALL OTHER INQUIRIES
- Press 0 for this to all begin again
Can you imagine getting these kinds of responses as you call God in prayer?
- "I'm sorry, all the angels are helping other customers right now.
- Please stay on the line. Your call is important to us and will be answered in the order it was received."
- "If you would like to speak to Gabriel, Press 11.
