Instant Messaging-Devotional

-Isaiah 65:24

24 Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.


I heard a story recently of a missionary on the field in one country while her daughter was also on the mission field in another country. They communicated as often as they could via instant messaging. Checking in daily, exchanging stories, prayer requests, and experiences via the world of internet exchange.

Prayer is much the same thing as instant messaging. God is on one end of the communication, and I am on the other. Sometimes I fail to connect, and the messages cease to flow. But God is always online, waiting for me to return. I only need to make a connection. Have you IM'ed HIM today?

PRAYER

Loving God, thank you for always being there for us. Help us to enjoy your presence, peace, and comfort in knowing you are only an instant away. Amen.
