What if God Had an Answering Machine?

Imagine praying and hearing this:

"Thank you for calling My Father's House. Please select one of the following four options:

    * Press 1 for requests.

    * Press 2 for thanksgiving.

    * Press 3 for complaints.

    * For all other inquiries, Press 4."

What if God used the familiar excuse:

    "All of the angels are helping other customers right now. Please stay on the line. Your call will be answered in the order it was received."

Can you imagine getting these kinds of responses as you call on God in prayer?

    * "If you'd like to speak with Gabriel, press 1.

    * For Michael, press 2.

    * For any other angel, press 3."

    * "If you want King David to sing you a psalm, press 6."

    * "To find out if your relative is here, enter his/her date of death and listen for the list that follows."

    * "For reservations at My Father's House, simply press the letters J-O-H-N on the keypad, followed by the number 3-1-6."

    * "For answers to nagging questions about dinosaurs, the age of the earth and where Noah's ark is, wait until you get here!"

    * "Our computers show that you have called once today already. Please hang up immediately."

    * "This office is closed for the weekend. Please call again Monday." End of message."

Thank God, you can't call Him too often !!! You only need to ring once and God hears you. Because of Jesus, you never get a busy signal. God takes each call and knows each caller personally. When you call and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help and He will say: "Here am I!"
