Mooooom!
That one word is the most valuable text message I can receive on my telephone! My son lives alone hundreds of miles away and I may see him once or twice a year. The telephone is my only connection to him. Between our two lines there are hundreds of text messages, pictures, and an occasional video. But that one word exclamation of “Mooooom!” which, although it is not necessary for his benefit, is his way of communicating to his mother that he is okay and all is well. That one word via telephone from my beloved connects straight to my heart – it is essential to me.
There may be an occasion when I cannot speak to him. A disconnect occurs in the telephone line that may be due to a disruption in the transmission, or some sort of interference in the signal, or it may be due to the fallibility of the piece of technology itself - anything could happen. But of course there is the basic requirement that, since the calls are not free, you must pay the telephone bill!
Oh, the anxiety that occurs when a mother waits to hear from her only child. The apprehension - the restlessness she feels can only be understood or described by another mother with a far-away child.
The fear that takes over the mind by way of nightmares and daydreams torments this mother. The imaginations that replay each time a siren sounds in the distance are heartbreaking.
After a week or two of no telephone calls, no text messages, and a lot of anxious suffering, I remember, “be anxious for nothing…let your requests be made known to God (Phil. 4:6 NKJ);” so I pray.
“LORD, I NEED…
But something miraculous has already happened in the heavens! I can sense the change in the atmosphere. There’s a link with the Almighty!
There is never a disconnection in this line of communication and there is never a dropped call. There is never dead space, and no time lapse. No interference is possible from the point of a mother’s petition to His promise. (P2P)! This connection is miraculous. It is powerful and it is infallible. And the best part is, there is never any charge, there’s no bill to pay - it’s a free call!
The promise is in Isaiah 65:24 (NKJ), “Before they call, I will answer…” Oh, the needless anxiety I bear when I don’t access the divine telephone and immediately make that free call. He knows an anxious mother’s thoughts from afar off and, “while [I am] still speaking…”
…TO HEAR FROM…”
There! It appears on the telephone,
Mooooom!
