We have to be careful with this next verse that we’re going to meditate on because it is not a licence to us to go ahead and believe anything that we want to, that we think that we’ve heard from God, but which doesn’t line up with his word. Jeremiah, chapter 33 verse three: Call to me and I will answer you and I will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
This is God speaking about himself to Jeremiah. And from this we see the personality and character of God that he wants to reveal himself to us. But also he wants us to ask him to do that.
He says, call to me and I’ll answer you. Be in relationship with me and I will show you more things about myself. And this is one of the reasons why Jesus left us with the Holy Spirit, so that he would teach us and guide us and lead us in to more truth.
One thing that we know with certainty though, our guardrail here, is that the Holy Spirit will never tell us anything that contradicts scripture. Because scripture issued forth from the same source, that is, God.
So we are encouraged then to call out to God to hold his word and read it and to speak to him and listen to the Holy Spirit who will reveal things to us that we don’t previously know. We are all on a journey of faith, and part of that journey is increasing in our knowledge of God. And there is so much about this vast and incredible being our God, that we have yet to learn. So let us call to him, ask him and know in faith that he will answer and he will tell us more about himself and more about this incredible universe he’s created for us.
Lord God, I thank you that you are a God of revelation and relationship, that you reveal yourself to us, that you want us to learn of you and that you delight in being in communication and relationship with us. Please help us then to listen well as you speak to us, our Father, our King. Amen.
