Jeremiah 33:2-3, “Thus says the LORD who made it, the LORD who formed it to establish it (the LORD is His name): ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’”
This was a time when Jerusalem was under the final siege by the Babylonians. As the prophet, Jeremiah was imprisoned, discouraged, downcast, and afraid for his life, the Lord gives him a word reminding him of His covenant with His people and the fact that He would continue to be faithful in His promises of ultimate restoration despite seemingly hopeless circumstances.
As believers, we should never forget that we are under the new covenant of grace and on the fact that God is faithful and will never falter in His promises. Maybe you are feeling worried, discouraged, or living in fear of the unknown. God is reminding us here not to rely on our strength but the power of prayer. As we pray, we are confident that He will answer, and as we look to Him through His word, He will encourage and strengthen us and bring peace and restoration.
He promises that as we call on Him, He will show us great and unsearchable things we do not know in our limited, finite minds. His ways are higher than our ways, but we must trust that God’s plan for us, is a plan that will prosper and bring glory to Him. He is the only one that knows the end from the beginning. As we face the trials of life and the fear of the unknown, I pray that we would face them with confidence that He is in control of every detail and will carry us through.
