Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalms 23:4 (NKJV)
A popular cell phone company had a very effective advertising campaign a few years ago. The message of the ad was ’Can you hear me now?’. The idea being their company offered more service to more places then any of the other companies. Since then they have changed their strategy to include the message “It’s the network’ implying wherever you are, a hoard of people will be right there with you. One of the competitors is arguing they have ’More bars, more places’ then anyone else. No matter which carrier you choose anyone who has had a cell phone for any length of time knows all too well the experience of a dropped call.Dropped calls occur when you enter a ’dead zone’ a place where there are no cell towers to communicate with. These ’dead zones’ never give you a warning unless you can constantly monitor the number of bars (your signal strength) you have at any given time. Otherwise you can be right in the middle of a word or sentence only to be saying those now famous words, ’Can you hear me now’?
Dead zones do not pose a problem when there is no actual emergency situation facing you. If on the other hand you find yourself stranded in a strange place, amid what would appear to be life threatening circumstances, you do not want to find out your phone company can not hear you now. Nor would you desire to have no bars in that particular place.

No matter how hard we try to constantly be in touch, it is virtually impossible for man to be all places at all times. Even the best cell phone service provider can not guarantee you will be able to make a call everywhere and at all times.
There is no such limitation on God’s ability to be everywhere at once. He is the only sure hope when faced with ’dead zone’ situations. You will never have to wonder if God can hear you now. You will not have to rely on any network or the number of bars. There is never a busy signal nor any dropped calls made to the hot line of heaven. He can surely say I can hear you now.
Even though you find yourself traveling through the dead zones of life, behold I am with you. You will always get a connection. Psalm 23:4 paraphrased
But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness. Isaiah 40:31 (BBE)
