I remembered to silence my phone when I went to church last week. However, I forgot to activate the ringer after worship. It was still on vibrate on Monday afternoon, which was not a good thing since I was expecting an important call. I didn’t realize the situation until I heard the faint sound of my phone buzzing just a few feet away from me. I quickly grabbed it, hoping it would be the call I was expecting. It was just my wife, calling from the grocery store to ask what kind of bread I wanted.

Sometimes we unintentionally silence our communication system with God. We go through a day without giving much thought to prayer or Bible reading.

Maybe that faint buzzing sound is your spouse calling from the grocery store. But it could be an important call. It could be God trying to get through.
