Call to Me

Jeremiah 33-34; Psalms 74; 1 John 5 

“’This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it – the Lord is his name: ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’”

Jeremiah 33:2, 3

The Creator of all things invites us to call out to him so he can reveal great, unsearchable things we do not know. That is an amazing invitation from God. Yet, what follows is a revelation again of the destruction of Jerusalem followed by a promise of restoration and the return of Israel to their land. When God invites us to call out to him for revelation, it is not always what we expect or even want to hear. Yet, if we will respond to God in relationship and call out to him, he will involve us in his kingdom mission plans.

When was the last time we called out to God for his sake, rather than for our needs or agenda?

Have we understood his promises for our nation?

Do we know what our part is in his kingdom mission?

“Lord God, Creator of all things, thank you for giving me life that I could serve you, know you, and live on mission with you, for your glory.”
