We eagerly anticipate receiving some calls. It might be a call with a job offer that we had applied for. Perhaps, we are waiting for a call to announce a new birth from an expectant couple that we are close with. Perhaps we have made an offer on a new house and we are waiting to hear if our offer has been accepted. At these times, we look at our phone constantly, set the ring volume to high, and even keep holding the phone in our hands. In
Isaiah 65:1 God is quoted as saying, “I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me; I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me, I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’ to a nation that was not called by my name.” God is always ready to hear us call upon Him. He is eagerly awaiting our call. He promises to answer our call, even when we have strayed far away from Him.
