The phone was ringing and it
was 4:45 in the morning! You know that if you get a telephone call at that hour
it can't be good news. Nobody calls you at quarter to five in the morning just
to say hello or to tell you that you’ve won the lottery….. in which case it
would be a wrong number at our house. We have had people call at that hour to
say G'day, but that was because they were confused about the time difference.
It is amazing how many
thoughts can go through your mind between the time the phone first rings and
when you finally pick it up. Within
seconds, you have considered every possible tragedy that might have necessitated
someone calling you at that horrendous hour, because you know in your heart of
hearts that it has to be bad news. In
our case whoever was calling hung up as I answered the phone. The caller ID
showed it was a payphone.
I wonder if our prayer lives
are reflective of early morning phone calls in that they only happen when
there’s a problem. God wants us to bring
Him our troubles, but I’m pretty sure He wants to hear the good news as
well. Have
a great week and remember: To see what is really possible, you will have to
attempt the impossible.
