Call
to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable
things you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3, NIV)
Slow
down this morning and dwell on this verse in Jeremiah. It is an
incredible promise. If you rush into your morning without taking time
to partake of its promise, you will miss something the Lord wishes to
show you. This verse 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.
This
is is picture of how your life can be with Him. 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–your desires and your
“rights”–that His unsearchable truths fall behind the
importance of loving Him. The unsearchable truths are beyond
magnificent, but He is.......! There are no words for who He is
except “joy unspeakable and full of glory”.
