I call with all my heart; answer me, Lord,We live in an age of nearly unlimited communication.
and I will obey your decrees.
I call out to you; save me
and I will keep your statutes.
I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I have put my hope in your word.
My eyes stay open through the watches of the night,
that I may meditate on your promises.
Hear my voice in accordance with your love;
preserve my life, Lord, according to your laws.
Those who devise wicked schemes are near,
but they are far from your law.
Yet you are near, Lord,
and all your commands are true.
Long ago I learned from your statutes
that you established them to last forever.
Psalm 119:145-152
If I'm a fan of an obscure regional band, I can go online and find other fans from around the world who are tweeting, talking, blogging, and arguing over which band member is the best and which songs are most worthy of a wider audience.
If I'm a follower of a sports team that gets little recognition and scarce attention, I can become a one-person megaphone, blogging, tweeting, and commenting. By slowly building a following, I can single-handedly help the team get more fans.
I've actually done that one.
While we're all taking advantage of the sound stage called the internet, there's one line of communication that remains underutilized.
Among all your tweets and posts and comments about sports and music and hobbies and politics, how much voice do you dedicate to calling out to the Lord?
