When I Call

"When I call on Jesus...all things are possible. I can mount on wings like eagles and soar. When I call on Jesus...mountains are gonna fall. Cause He'll move heaven and earth to come rescue me when I call."

I know that you've probably heard this song many times, sung by many different christian artists. It is one of my favorite songs. The message is so powerful, and yet so simple.

The key word in the song is the word 'when'. See, all things are always possible with Jesus....but, it is WHEN we call that it becomes personal in OUR lives! No matter what we do, what situation, things will go on. The birds will keep on singing, the grass keeps growing, the rivers keep rolling to the ocean...life goes on...GOD'S creation moves ahead.

But, by using that little adverb 'when' as a conjunction, things begin to change for us personally. When means that it is at a point that something happens....'When I call on Jesus...' That's all we have to realize. We must realize that we have to stay focused on Christ and call His name and He will answer...He will move mountains, when necessary to rescue us.

When we 'call' someone, we are meaning to get an answer. Call means to speak loudly, or to summon...to require sombody to do something. By calling on Jesus, we are pleading for His attention to something that we cannot handle.......no matter how big or small. He'll never forsake us, He's always aware of our needs...........but He wants US to be aware, also.

We have a soul, capable of making decisions and choices. Nature works due to the heartbeat of God, but he wants us to call on Him. Why do we try so hard to fix things ourselves? Well, that's HUMAN nature, isn't it? Let's stay focused on our pathway for Christ and know to always seek Him........He's there....waiting with arms wide open.......ready to 'move heaven and earth to come rescue me when I call.'
