“Then when you call, the Lord will answer. ‘Yes, I am here,’ he will quickly reply”

Salesforce.com has done pretty well with their internal social media/communication platform called Chatter.  The more companies that adopt Salesforce the more Chatter becomes used.  Maybe that is why Microsoft decided to pay more than a Billion dollars for Yammer.  Chatter and Yammer both are platforms to speed up and cross pollinate communication inside of organizations.  They both make a lot of sense to me as communication inside of organizations is always one of the toughest challenges for any business.  Most every downfall or misstep can be credited back to poor communication.  What also happens inside of companies is that internal silos are created by organizational structures and facility arrangements so it is no wonder that one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing.  Tools that allow and encourage communication at the base of an organization across functions, departments, buildings, etc. can only help.

Isaiah tells us who the first real-time, always on communicator was and is still today.  That is our God.  He is always there and as the scripture says, “He will quickly reply”.  What a fantastic promise and knowledge to hold onto; that God is both our Chatter and Yammer friend, partner, and co-worker for His Kingdom work.  So, today, remember few things are better than open, honest, fast and fluid communication and God is standing by for that communication to start from us to Him!
