MONDAY MORNING MOMENT JANUARY 05, 1998 Vol. III Number 01
They tell us the 911 emergency system is the state of the art. All you need do is dial those numbers, and you will almost instantly be connected to a dispatcher. In front of the dispatcher will be a read-out that lists your telephone number, your address, and the name by which that telephone number is listed at that address. Also listening in are the police, the fire department, and the paramedics.
A caller might not be able to say what the problems is. Or perhaps a woman’s husband has just suffered a heart attack, and she is so out of control that all she can do is hysterically scream into the telephone. But the dispatcher doesn’t need her to say anything. He knows where the call is coming from. Help is already on the way.
There comes times in our lives when in our desperation and pain we dial 911 prayers. Sometimes we’re hysterical. Sometimes we don’t know the words to speak. But God hears, He knows our name and our circumstance. Help is on the way; God has already begun to bring the remedy. Let us inter 1998 with a confidence that God is on the job and is listening in to us.
