Call to me, and I will answer thee

Call to me, and I will answer thee

Scripture:-

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3

Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth Jeremiah 33:6

Observation:- In chapter 3 of Jeremiah 33, there are two verses that particularly spring up to my attention. The first is a famous and marvelous verse. Jeremiah 33:3 gives us the picture of us calling out to the Lord, and the Lord answering us, and showing us great and mighty things, we which never could have imagined.

Driven into a corner, with no hope left, many a sinner has called out to God “God, if you are real, show yourself to me.”, and God has answered, and turned their lives completely round. This is God’s promise “Call to me, and I will answer you”. In the Psalms, there is a wonderful verse which says “The Lord looks down from heaven upon the sons of man, to see if there are any who understand, any who seek Him”. The Lord’s eyes are looking for those who will look up to heaven and seek Him. Later, in the Acts, it is written that God is not far from anyone of us and we need only to reach out and find Him.

The second verse highlighted in this chapter, is about God’s healing power and peace. Jehovah Rapha means God is my healer, and indeed it is in God’s nature to heal, to cure. When Jesus came, He went throughout the land, healing every disease and sickness among the people. Sickness is a symptom of sin, brought about by the fall of men, but in Jesus, we are cured from sin, and from every disease.

It is further written that God will reveal His abundance of peace and truth. In God, there is always abundance, more than we could ever need. In Him is overflowing peace, overflowing truth.

We would do most well to seek Him and to ask for His abundant healing, peace and truth.

Application: Call to God, really call out to Him. Ask Him to be real in your life. Without Him, there is no true meaning or peace in life. If you are sick, believe that God can heal you, that He wants to heal you. Keep believing, even if doctors say there is no hope. See Jesus on the cross, taking all our sickness and infirmities. It is written, He bore our infirmities and our sicknesses. Ask God to show you His abundant peace and truth. Ask Him to show you great and unsearchable things.

Prayer: Lord, open the eyes of my heart, that I might see You. In You O Lord is hope and peace. Show me the abundance of your peace and truth. Show yourself so real in my life O Lord. You are worthy of all honor and praise. In Jesus name, Amen.
