A landline telephone

Today I saw, in my mind's eye, an old fashioned telephone which has a separate finger groove for each of the numbers 0-9, that has to be individually turned clockwise, as representing the person being called's telephone number, until the finger reaches resistance and then the next number in the sequence is dialled. This is a good reminder of the variations in telephones and in ways to call someone. Similarly God wants us to call Him by whatever method comes naturally to us. King David, who had had to rely on so much help from the Lord, was able to confidently declare that, "The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth" (Psalm 145:18). 'All' is inclusive, with no stipulation on age, status, religion, words to be used, place, time etc. The emphasis is on calling God and He will be there. Our method of calling and God's method of replying are not stipulated. "in truth" means that we are to come as we are, whether we are tired, angry, sad, lacking in faith etc. Call God. All of us are eligible.
