A collaborative effort of Rev. Rodney Stearns and Naomi Meyers If God had a cell phone And used it just like you, How much time would you spend waiting In the "call waiting" queue? When you call to ask for mercy, Would He just shoot back a text? Too busy searching websites To take time to connect. Would He be too lost in videos Or news and world events, To notice or acknowledge When a sinner repents? As your children call on Jesus In their bedtime prayer at night, Would He be too busy scrolling To look down in delight? When they ask him for a puppy Or a kitten or a friend, Would His compassion then be failing As He sought the newest trend? Why do you have a cell phone When God speaks straight to you? Were you looking for distractions From your internal view? Did you ask God for a cell phone, To help you win the lost? If you led someone to Jesus, That would sure be worth the cost! Did you send a text to someone To brighten up their day? A scripture verse reminding, God answers when we pray! Aren’t you glad God’s not addicted To a cell phone just like you? Perhaps if you would lay yours down You’d find that you care too. Care more for people lost in sin, For others deep in doubt. Care for the people next to you, Have time to help them out. So put the cell phone down, my friend, And you will surely see The God who rules all Heaven and earth Has time for you and me. Then take that time, without your phone, To ride bikes with your kids. To check-in with your neighbors And long lost relatives. Spend some more time praying On God’s direct call line. I promise if you call on Him, He’ll answer every time. See, you don’t need a cell phone To do the things that count. You just need time with Jesus And a heart to help folks out! Although we hope you have enjoyed the rhyme and meter of our little poem, we also hope you will evaluate your phone time with Judgment Day honesty. Society is dying, and we are playing games on our cell phones. Our families are needy, and we are scrolling news sites. God is calling, and we are effectively sending it to voicemail as we put shopping, social media, e-mail, news, videos, and sports ahead of Him. We desperately need to lay down the phone. Turn it off for an hour. Put the eternal before the temporal. Choose to follow God. Allow nothing before Him. (Joshua 24:15, Exodus 20:3) Look deep inside. See what your cell phone usage is saying. For where your treasure is, there also is your heart. (Matthew 6:21) What does your phone say about that?
