2 Chronicles 16:8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the Lord, he delivered them into thine hand.

We dropped our land line telephone service. We have cell phones to communicate with anywhere, so why pay for what we don’t use. The batteries run down constantly and need to be recharged. We get dropped calls sometimes when we are between cell towers or in a dead zone.

We cannot get cable where we live so we use satellite service which goes out during thunder storms or electrical outages. Squirrels eat the insolation off our DSL line.

The point is that all communication of an earthly nature are reliant on a system of support which are by design meant to wear, break, be repaired or replaced.

Not so with God. God does not rely on anything to communicate, He is totally independent of any failing subsystem. He is the provider of eyes to see and ears to hear and those never fail, never need replacing, never need to be recharged.

However, like the phone ringing in the other room, one has to pick up to receive the call. So since faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word, then I encourage you brothers and sisters in Christ.

“Pick up people!!”
