~Text to God~

It seems everywhere I look as I go about my day in which other people are included...I see someone either talking on a cell phone or texting on one...it makes me think...

Wouldn't it be so cool if we could text God? I mean, sure we can talk to him any time any place...quietly in our heads or loudly with our mouths....but wouldn't it be great to be able to text God and get a response back? 

When I first began texting, I was one of those who sent immediate responses back and thought that others should send immediate responses. Well, I have learned that life happens and you can't always respond immediately...sure at times you can...but not always. 

It would be so great if we could send a text message to God...and he could text us back. Communication is rampant here in the United States...but HOW do we really communicate. Are we so busy keeping up with the best and latest that we truly don't understand?

Let me step back for a moment...okay...I said it would be cool to be able to text with God...immediate communication...His responding back to us so that we can "see" the words. Doesn't he already respond to us? We have become so "vision" oriented...having to "see" with all of the technology presented to us that possibly we have become "deaf". 

There are so many ways to "see" and "hear" from God. He communicates to us in a still small voice, through His Word, through other people...are we fully in tune with his form of "technological communication"? 

Maybe we need to slow our pace down...put down the technological gadget in our hand...pick up the Bible with paper pages...open it...begin communicating with God...or maybe we need to simply sit quietly with our Friend...communing with Him...waiting for His responses...and His ways will be made known...plainly...if we simply rest quietly in knowing that.
