Call Him

Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.  Jeremiah 33:3

The word "call" in the verse above is "qara" in the orginial Hebrew and it means " to call out to someone; cry out".

God wants us to "call out" to Him.

The commentary in my Bible says that this verse is "The positive assurance from God is that if we will call on Him, He will answer us in ways that will astound us."

It is true.  When we call, God will answer.  He will reveal that which was hidden.

God is the author of  "aha moments".  


We have some rental property and there have been times that our tenants will "call" on my husband, Chris.  Since he is the owner, he has to be available when they call him for help.  The tenants didn't know how to fix what was broken, so they called someone who would know how to fix it.  For example, he has had to be a plumber, put in shower heads, put in new dishwashers, and fix garbage disposals.  However, there have been somethings he has lacked the skills or knowledge to fix and then he will call a professional. 

Many times we don't know how to fix something.  We know we want to fix it, but lack the skills or knowledge needed to fix it.  We may not have a leaky faucet or garage disposal that needs fixing.  Our broken need is often times much more substantial and consequential.  The issues we face can not only impact our entire lives, but also the lives of people we love.   It could be an illness (personal or of a loved one), trouble with a child, marriage issues, a job situation, an estranged relationship, etc.  


Whatever it is, God says, "Call to Me and I will anwer you".  He says He will reveal the answer to you, He will reveal that which you do not know.

We may not know how to fix it, but God does.  He will answer. He is our Fixer.

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, 
And delivers them out of all their troubles.  Psalms 34:18

God doesn't want you to stay living with a leaky faucet, He wants your life to be full of blessings and joy.  He wants to go in and fix your need.  Just "Call" Him.  

Call to Him and He will answer and He will show you great and mighty things, that which you do not know.
