Your phone rings
you answer it
you hear nothing
so you say nothing
then it happens
"Hello"
"Hello"
and you know
that as soon as you say something
the voice will
act like your best friend
telling you that you can reduce your interest rates
or have the cleanest gutters in the neighborhood.
The voice
got your number!
The saying
Got your number
means
"To have leverage, control, knowledge, or power over another individual." (google)
Hmm...
but do they really
as they don't know me
as they don't know you,
they really just
got our phone number...
Because
if they really
had
control
knowledge
or power
over me
they would say,
"For I know the plans I have for you. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
"Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for a child she has borne? Even if that were possible, I would never forget you! See,
I have engraved your name on the palms of my hands." Isaiah 49:15-16
Because
He got my number
He says,
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27
Because
He
got my number
&
Because
He
got your number
He knows
when I, _____________ (PUT your name)
sit down and when I, ____________, stand up;
He understands
my, ______________'s, thoughts from far away. Psalm 139
So
before
hanging up the phone
I would hear
&
you would hear
Be still and know
that
I am God.
Psalm 46:10
