Jeremiah 33:3 Call to me, and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

The God we serve is like no other. No other God knows everything and what is more amazing is that he is willing to share his knowledge with his children. Here he is speaking to Jeremiah and it is interesting to me that Jeremiah is in confinement.

There must be no more hopeless situation than being confined, when your movements are under scrutiny and you are no longer in control of your life, bleaker yet if you do not know how long you will be confined. How amazing it is then that the Lord God would show up to fellowship with Jeremiah. God reveals to Jeremiah things he could not learn from any other source. Most importantly he lets Jeremiah know that change is coming – nothing will remain the same. Some of it will be frightening, but in the end God says he will bring health and healing to his people and let them enjoy abundant peace and security. And please note God will do this for his own glory (verse 9).

God is a covenant keeping God and he reminds Jeremiah that: “If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, so that day and night no longer come at their appointed time, then my covenant with David my servant – and my covenant with the Levites who are priests ministering before me – can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne.” (Jeremiah 33:20-21). David’s son Solomon succeeded him as king to his earthly throne but the promised descendant of David is the Lord Jesus in whom we have redemption. God has kept that covenant.

If you are in a place of testing and great trial right now, know that the Lord God has you on his mind. There is no place so dark that he can’t shine his light. You can’t see the future but he knows it all, and change is coming. All he asks you to do is call out to him and he will answer. He is your Father and he will do for you what you cannot do for yourself.
