“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and
unsearchable things you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3, NIV)
Stop and think about this verse in Jeremiah, and you will
realize that it is an incredible promise. But it is more than an incredible
promise of God; it is an absolute truth in God's constant and abiding Word. If
you call to Him, He will answer. You do not ask a void for an answer. You ask
the omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient God. You ask the Creator of the
universe. You ask your loving God who knows you better than you know yourself.
You ask your Father for His time, and He gives it willingly and unsparingly
because you are precious to Him. You ask the Lord who is everywhere at the same
time, and yet He is there for you. You ask an all-powerful God who is there for
all who believe. He brings the same power to your need that He used to raise
Jesus from the dead (Ephesians 1:19). There is no other name that you need, but
that of Jesus Christ.
He answers you with great and unsearchable things which you do
not know. You may not understand them all after he imparts them to you, but you
believe because He is your God. He only imparts truth. You believe them by
faith, and you trust by faith. One day you may understand, and one day you may
not understand. It is alright either way. You have His peace either way. Because
you love Him deeply and intimately as He has loved you, there is peace in either
knowing or not knowing–in understanding or not understanding. You know that He
knows best so there is no struggle against His will. There is acceptance and
rejoicing. He speaks to your longing spirit and heart because you have peace no
matter what. You receive powerfully and completely and trustingly from His
magnificent bounty.
Call to Him. Pray to Him. Cry out to Him, and He will answer
you. It is when you want all of Him, and have given up all of yourself, that the
unsearchable things He imparts, fall behind the importance of loving Him. The
unsearchable truths are beyond magnificent, but He is......there are no words
for what He is except joy unspeakable and full of glory.
