Call On the Lord

"Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; 'Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. '" (Jeremiah 33:2-3 KJV)

"Call unto the Lord" . . . what an invitation! "I will answer you" . . . what a marvelous response! "I will show you important, hidden things that you do not know" . . . what a glorious promise!

Who can promise such a thing? The One who created the earth. The One who formed the universe. The One who established the eternal laws that govern all creation. The One who is eternal. Jehovah is his name!

No other person can effectively promise us the promises contained in Jeremiah's narrative because no one else has the authority and power to fulfill such a promise. God alone can promise this to you because he alone can fulfill it.

Note this: whatever level of spiritual maturity we may presently enjoy, God wants to reveal more of himself to us. Yet, he will not force himself on us. To access more, we must call on the One who has more to reveal. And to call on him, we must admit that there is something we don't know, but want to know, which he alone can reveal to us.

O to know "the great and mighty things" of God! O to hear his response when we call! O to expect the revelation of something important! O, Lord send it down!

Dear Father, thank you for  your promise. Empower us with a humble spirit to call and access your promise. I pray this in the name of Jesus. AMEN

Be strong and courageous today calling on the Lord,
