Jeremiah 33:3
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ ’Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about
Jeremiah heard this Word from the Lord while he was confined. His situation looked bleak, as this was not a good time to be a true prophet of God. False prophets were popular, but truth-bearers have been persecuted in every generation, especially the one Jeremiah ministered in.
But God’s promise was true. Jeremiah was imprisoned, but his life was in hearing and speaking the messages of God. Even in a pit, he would be able to converse with the Lord (Jer 38). God will speak to us if we will only listen. He has given us his Word, and he has given us his Holy Spirit to be able to discern and keep it.
The Word God had for Jeremiah was one of hope and promise (Jer 33:6-9), along with a true Word about the reality of the wickedness of the times. No matter what circumstances you find yourself in, God has a Word of hope for you. Even when you have read the Bible through a hundred times, go to him for a fresh Word and be filled with hope.
and tell you great and unsearchable things…”When Paul had written his letter to the Romans and had gotten through chapter 11, he was forced to stop and praise God.
“The depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!”
Romans 11:33
His ways are so far above our ways, but a great privilege for the Christian is to learn what he has revealed about himself. Every time we truly grow in our knowledge of him, we will be like Paul, praising God for his “unsearchable” ways Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and 2mighty things, which you do not know.’
