Today God highlighted Jeremiah 33:3 to me, so I decided I should stop to chew on it!
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3
Call – qara meaning “to call, call out, recite, read, cry out, proclaim” – the lexicon even expounds to say that sometimes it involves actual weeping.
…unto Me and I will answer – anah meaning “to answer, respond, testify, speak, shout”
…thee, and shew – nagad meaning “to be conspicuous, tell, make known, declare…” – again the lexicon expounds and says “to be clear and manifest”
…thee great – gadowl meaning “great” LOL! It further continues to detail that out to include implication of size or magnitude or intensity.
…and mighty things – batsar meaning “secrets, mysteries, inaccessible things”
…which thou knowest not – yada meaning “to know (be acquainted with)” (only NOT those things).
In essence, our job is simply to call – to cry out to Him – whether in tears or in declaration or in reciting His word… call out! Engage Him. Once we do, He will not just respond to that call, but He makes known to us big secrets that we wouldn’t have any other way of knowing. He will make them manifest in our lives! Wow. Thank You. And all we have to do is call…
God I call out to You! I cry out to You – take me deeper! Show me the deep things of You. I want to know You… even if some will stretch me, I want to know You for I know You are good and I know You are faithful… You are worth knowing intimately and somehow You find me worth knowing intimately as well. Thank You! I love You… 🙂
Beautiful! It takes the pressure off, doesn’t it? You just have to call, you don’t have to do anything else or figure out how to do it. Just call. And Meghan, you’ve been calling. He’s heard every word, every tear. Your heart towards him is beautiful. He’s going to be true to you. You have poured so much love and honor on him, I can’t imagine that he is anything less than overflowing with love for you. Let the rain come on!
Meghan,
Thanks so much for prayer this AM in the PR. You guys were God with skin on in the sense of me needing to feel the unseen God, hugs needed, words prayed that were life to me. God is teachng me to reach out to people, never as idols, always as an extension of who He is for me. He’s got me!!!! I am calling, he will answer.
Thanks!
