Interplanetary Conversation?

On July 20, 1969, President Nixon made an extraordinary phone call. Nixon's official presidential diary says that at 11:45pm, "The President held an interplanetary conversation with Apollo 11 Astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin on the moon." What technology back then that enabled the president to speak to the astronauts on another planet!

While that truly is amazing, that technology is not as awesome as the high-tech communications mentioned in 2 Chronicles 30:27. The verse tells us, "Then the priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard their voice, and their prayer came into His holy dwelling place in heaven." Now that's a real interplanetary conversation! Notice that the priests and Levites prayed and God heard their voice - their prayer was immediately heard in heaven! No communication delay, no satellite relay, and no concern for a 3G or 4G network.

When we pray, God hears us. That's the simple fact 2 Chronicles 30:27 and other verses in the Bible tell us. We can take comfort in this and anchor our faith on it. How awesome that anytime and every time we pray, it is immediately heard in heaven.

How can/will you apply this truth in your life this week? For extra study, compare 2 Chronicles 30:27 with Revelation 8:3.
