Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV) 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
Jeremiah was in prison. But even in prison, he continued to seek God and hear from Him.
God spoke to Jeremiah in the verse above, urging him to call to Him. He promised that if he would do so, God would show him “great and mighty things”.
The word originally used for “mighty” actually meant “inaccessible” or “unfathomable”.
The things He would show him would be secret, unknown things, previously not spoken to man.
This was an invitation to Jeremiah and the people to see beyond the miraculous things that God had already done in creation, the miracles seen during the exodus from Egypt under the leadership of Moses, and much more.
And He is still speaking these words to us today.
God desires for us to call out to Him, seek Him and draw near to Him.
His willingness to show us “great and mighty” things didn’t go away with the death of Jeremiah or any of the other historic men and women of God.
He is still willing to show us great and mighty things as we walk with Him and grow our relationship with Him.
Most of us would love for this to happen in our lives. The question, though, is whether we are willing to do what it takes to get that close to God.
God uses those, and speaks to those, who are close to Him; those who are willing to make sacrifices in order to put Him first and foremost in their lives.
Jeremiah is a great example of this. He gave up much in order to follow God the way he did. And God used him mightily, having him prophesy and give counsel to Judah and Israel, and even to other nations.
His ministry spanned over 50 years!
So, the question now is, “how close do we want to be to God?”.
Are we willing to do what it takes to get there? Only we can decide.
Jeremiah 29:13 (NKJV) 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
