Years ago many business telephones had a feature
called “Send All Calls“ that when selected
would forward all calls to another extension.
However one employee was confused with their new
desk phone claiming that they were missing a feature
they wanted called 'Send SOME Calls.'
“What do you mean by that?” an amused coworker asked,
and the flustered person replied, “I want to only get
the calls I want, but not get the calls I
don’t want!”
This (true!) story is an example of how some people also
view the Bible. They refuse to receive the parts they
DON’T LIKE— but will only accept 'The Call'
of the parts they do LIKE.
Israel made that same mistake on their way to their promised Holy Land.
Instead of receiving and heeding all of God’s 'calls'
given to Moses, they ignored the calls they
didn’t want to hear
and the consequence was forty years of wandering in the desert
and never entering the promised land.
However the Bible instead promises us blessings when we
'Answer His Calls' saying:
“Diligently obey the LORD your God…
and all these blessings
will come upon you and overtake you
if you obey the LORD your God”
Deuteronomy 28:1-2
Friend, God’s calls sent out to us always leads in ways
that will always HELP and never HARM.
