Scripture: Jeremiah 19:3b
"That the ears of those who hear about it will ring" NLT
The church is called Almighty God Tabernacle.
On a Saturday night, the pastor was working late, and decided to call
his wife before he left for home. It was about 10:00 PM, but his wife
didn't answer the phone. The pastor let it ring many times – the
answering machine didn't even kick in! He thought it was odd that she
didn't answer, but decided to wrap up a few things and try again in a
few minutes.
When he tried again she answered right away. He asked her why she
hadn't
answered a few minutes before, and she said that the phone had not
wrung
all night long. They brushed it off as a fluke and the pastor soon left
for home.
The following Monday, the pastor received a call at the church office,
which was the phone that he'd last used Saturday night. The man that he
spoke with wanted to know why he'd called on Saturday night. The pastor
couldn't figure out what the guy was talking about. Then the guy said,
"I could hear it ring and ring, but I didn't answer." The pastor
remembered the mishap and apologized for disturbing him, explaining
that
he'd intended to call his wife.
The man said, "That's OK. Let me tell you my story. You see, I was
planning to commit suicide on Saturday night, but before I did, I
prayed, 'God if you're there, and you don't want me to do this, give me
a sign now.' At that point my phone started to ring. I looked at the
caller ID, and it said, 'Almighty God'. I was afraid to answer!"
If God was calling would you be afraid to answer?
