Dropped Call

You're talking with someone, and suddenly, the conversation breaks up or abruptly ends; the call drops. How frustrating to hear or say, “Can you hear me now?” over and over. Interference disrupts communication—traveling or living in remote areas, poor weather conditions interrupt cell phone and wi-fi signals, causing weak or no connections—but signal towers don’t move.

In the psalmist’s time of need, David knew to call on God and trusted He heard his plea: “Hear my cry, O God; give ear unto my prayer” (Psalm 61:1; 17:6). David stayed near God, keeping his line of communication open and trusting Him as his strong tower, place of refuge. God’s signal never needs boosting, and His calls never drop. He is our strong tower, too, but life distresses, lack of faith, unconfessed sin, or stubbornness can disrupt your connection with Him. Whenever communication glitches happen, and you wonder if God hears you, He didn’t move.
