Before You Call

“I will answer them before they even call to me.

While they are still talking to me about their needs,

I will go ahead and answer their prayers!”

Isaiah 65:24

• There we were, standing on the ship’s decks like a thousand penguins in orange vests. The ship’s rules demanded that all passengers attend a safety drill. After learning how to strap on my life jacket, I noticed a little whistle attached to the side. Blowing it would alert rescuers to my position among the waves. As I stood through the rest of the demonstration, I thought about how God prepares us to be rescued from drowning in life’s troubled waters. In many verses, He tells us to simply call. Here, He says He’ll answer even sooner—before we call. My prayers, then, are like the little whistle on my life jacket. With one big difference: My soul’s rescuer already knows where I am, already knows my every need. Have you talked with God today?
