Call unto Me

“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” - Jeremiah 33v3

There are certain things that we can take for granted if we are not careful. One of these is pray, apart from neglecting prayer we too often do just as much damage by taking prayer for granted.

When we think about it though the very concept of a prayer answering God is astounding. He is perfect, holy, sinless, and righteous. We are flawed, sinful, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.

It is only by His love, grace, and mercy that He says what He does in Jeremiah 33v3 – “Call unto me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not.” This is a passage of great comfort. God does not say here that if we call on Him He will do whatever we ask, but that He will do great and mighty things that we can’t know. Not only does He invite us to pray, but He lets us knows that what He does will be great and mighty and we will not always understand them.
