“Call
to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable
things you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3, NIV)
This
verse in Jeremiah is an incredible promise. But it is more than that!
It is an absolute truth found in God's 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 in
Him. He brings the same power to your need that He used to raise
Jesus from the dead (Ephesians 1:19-21). He is able to
do immeasurably more than all you ask or imagine in what you have
surrendered to Him (Ephesians 3:20). There
is no other name that you need, but that of Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12).
He
answers your call with great and unsearchable things which you have
not known. You may not understand them all with your human mind, but
your spirit can receive them because you know that He only imparts
truth. You do not analyze His truths. You believe them by faith, and
you trust by faith. One day you may understand the truths that are
beyond your grasp at this time, and one day you may not understand.
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 believe 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 surrounds you.
It
is when you want all of Him, and have given up all of your own
conditions, you can receive not only the unsearchable truths He
imparts, but most gloriously, His abiding presence. The unsearchable
truths are beyond magnificent, but they can never be who Jesus Christ
is–your Redeemer, your
Savior, your Friend. Open up your heart and life to Him right at this
moment. Call to Him. Pray to Him, and He will answer you not only
with His presence, but you will receive powerfully and completely
from His magnificent bounty.
