WHAT IF GOD HAD VOICEMAIL?

We have all become accustomed to the various forms of voicemail when making telephone calls; they are considered a necessary part of modern life. But what would happen if God decided to install voicemail? How would we feel about praying? Would we be happy with this – bearing in mind that many people do not appreciate the soul-less tones of voicemail?

Imagine having to pray via phone and hearing this:-

 Thank you for calling my Father’s House. Please select one of the following options;-
 # Press 1 for requests  #Press 2 for thanksgiving
 #Press 3 for complaints  #Press 4 for all the other enquires

What if God used this familiar excuse:-
 
 I’m sorry but all of our angles are busy right now, However, your prayer is important to us and will be answered shortly please hold the line.

On pressing 4 for “other enquires” can you imagine getting these response:-

 #  to speak to Gabriel - press 1
 # To speak to Michael – press 2
 # For a directory of other angels – press 3
 # To hear King David sing psalm while you wait – press 4
 # To hear if a loved one has arrived in heaven – press 5; enter their    Social Security Number then press #. If the answer is negative try   area code 666 and ask for Beelzebub.
 # For reservations in my Gather’s House enter JOHN 316
 # For answer to questions about dinosaurs, the age of the earth or    the whereabouts of Noah’s Ark, wait until you arrive.
 # Our computers show that you have already been in contact today    please hang up and call again tomorrow.
