Call to... (August 18)

'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you the great and unsearchable things you do not know.'
                                                  Jeremiah 33:3 NIV

Jeremiah spoke the above words of God to the people of Judah in about 586 BC.  At that time, the people of Judah had wandered away from the law and direction given by God through Moses to them.  The nation lost its focus on the Redeeming, Creator God and instead was focusing on items of wood and stone, on idols.  The nation did not look like the nation God intended it to be, but rather looked more like the surrounding nations of Moab, Edom and others.

Today, we read God's Word as spoken by the prophet Jeremiah and without too much effort, we can consider how Jeremiah's prophecy could apply to our own lives.  Where do you call when you are challenged, troubled, rejected, scorned, praised, victorious, or considering various aspects of daily life?

We can at any time, through the Spirit, call to the Lord.  The Lord does promise to answer our call with great and unsearchable things we do not know.  We can, through prayer in everything, with praise and thanksgiving, present our requests to God.  And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:6-7 NIV.

Where, today, do people call for answers?

Where do you call for answers to the unsearchable questions of life?

Pray for the faith to take all things, at all times, to Christ in Prayer.

In Christ,

David P
