“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 prophet Jeremiah began his ministry in the 13th
year of Josiah’s reign as king over Israel.
Josiah brought spiritual reform in an effort to free Judah from the
corrupt influences of paganism and their political bondage to Assyria.
Most scholars say that Chapters 30-33 are meant as God’s
promise thru the prophet to Israel regarding a restoration to the way things
should be under the Lord’s leadership through their reforming king.
This speaks to believers today in that some slip away from
their true calling, becoming complacent in their walk with God. These two verses in and of themselves tell me
that if the Lord can form the earth that we walk on and establish it in amidst of
the solar system, then He can reestablish me to a right standing and answer any
of the questions I may have regarding the things I don’t know. Some things may never be explained because we
simply don’t need to know; the information is irrelevant to our calling as a
child of God. However, God will reveal
all that we need to know to effectively live for Him.
Our
goal as a child of God is to serve Him with a glad heart and show by example what
a life free from sin can look like.
Being like Christ in every aspect of our lives, while virtually
impossible this side of heaven, it’s a noble quest to strive for. As we dedicate our lives to living for the
Lord we should begin to resemble Him more and more each day. Until next time, walk with the King and be a
blessing!
