I Will Answer You

"This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth... 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'" (Jeremiah 33:2-3)

Scripture Focus: Colossians 1:15-23

During the time of the Old Testament kings, Israel was a mess. In ruins because of her sin, she was a people not enjoying God's best for her. Her rejection broke His heart, and He longed to restore her so they could be in relationship once again. Into this moment God speaks some of the most hope-filled verses in Scripture. Communicating through His prophet-spokesman, Jeremiah, the Creator of the universe said, "Call to me." These words are for us today, too! "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

Imagine, the Creator-God sharing His great and unsearchable mysteries with His creation. Why would we not want to step into that place of intimacy and trust with Him? Is it even still possible? Yes, because He has made us, has loved us, and has drawn our hearts to Him (see Romans 8:30). He urges us to call out to Him, and He lovingly shares the mysteries of His love with us through His Word and through His Son, Jesus. Will you call out to Him today?

Insight: In Jesus we find "all the fullness of the Deity" in a human body (Colossians 2:9). Call to Him, and you are calling to God.
