You're on the phone and that little noise chirps in your ear - another call coming in. On my phone, a menu pops up offering me choices of how to respond. End current & answer new? Ignore new? Hold current & answer new?
Most of the time the way I respond has to do with who the new caller is. Either boy or their schools in the middle of the day - hold & answer. Unrecognizable number - Ignore! The person who is watching vigil with someone in their final hours here on earth - End & Answer.
But what if there is always someone calling? What if they are just relentless? Where's the block option?
"The one who is calling you is faithful and will do this. (1 Thessalonians 5:24 CEB)"
This verse got me thinking about this call waiting idea this morning. God is always faithfully calling us. Relentless. And He is determined to grant us the power to accomplish all that He is calling us to do.
His relentless pursuit of us isn't to bug or cajole us, but to meet us, to walk with us, to fill us so we can live into the fullness of who we are in Him!
Thankfully, Advent is a reminder that He's calling, and waiting, for me to answer.
Come, Lord Jesus, Come.
