Call to Me

-

 

Scripture: Jerimiah 33:3 (NIV)

3 ‘Call me, and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’

Devotion:

In Jeremiah 33:3, God personally invites each of us to engage with Him. This verse underscores the intimate relationship He desires to have with you. He urges, 'Call to me,' highlighting the importance of your communication and reliance on Him.

The following promise is equally powerful: 'And I will answer you.' This assurance of God's responsiveness is a cornerstone of our faith. It means that no matter the circumstances, He hears you when you reach out to Him. It is not a matter of whether He will respond but when and how. His answers may come in various forms—through scripture, through the counsel of others, or through quiet moments of reflection and prayer.

Moreover, God promises to reveal 'great and unsearchable things you do not know.' This speaks to the depth of His wisdom and knowledge, which far surpasses our own understanding. When we seek Him, He opens our eyes to new perspectives and insights that are beyond our natural comprehension. This divine revelation can transform our understanding and guide us through life's complexities and uncertainties, providing clarity and direction.

In our daily lives, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the noise and demands of the world. We often seek solutions through our own efforts, forgetting that we have a direct line to the Creator of the universe. Jeremiah 33:3 encourages us to pause and turn to God, trusting He is ready to reveal His plans and purposes for us.

Let this verse be a source of comfort and encouragement. Remember that God is inviting you to call on Him in moments of doubt or confusion. He is not a distant or indifferent deity, but a loving Father who delights in revealing His heart to His children. Take time to pray, to listen, and to seek His face. As you do, you will discover the richness of His presence and the profound truths He longs to share with you.

May we cultivate a habit of calling out to God, confident in His promise to answer and reveal the unsearchable mysteries of His wisdom. Let our hearts be open to His voice, and our spirits attuned to His guidance. In doing so, we will find ourselves aligned with His will and walking in the light of His divine revelation. What does it mean to 'walk in the light of His divine revelation '? It means living our lives in accordance with the truths He has revealed to us, making decisions based on His wisdom, and trusting in His guidance. It's a way of life that brings peace, joy, and fulfillment.

Prayer:

            Father, may we always call to you and lean upon you, whether in times of celebration or distress. Let us be mindful that you are always near to us and desire to hear from us in all circumstances. O God, teach us to rely on you at all times and in all ways. You are our only hope for salvation in this life. May we always be mindful that we need to rely on you and you alone for our help. Amen.

Welcoming the Unwelcome

  Scripture: Luke 7:36-38 (NIV) 36  When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37  A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. 38  As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and poured perfume on them. Devotion:             First of all, some warnings to my readers. This post will exceed the 500 words I try to limit my posts. Second, this post will contain content people may find offensive or otherwise unfit for print. Please understand that my purpose is neither to offend nor upset but to provoke thought and, hopefully, respectful dialog.             We will use Luke chapt...

The Hatred of the World

-
Scripture: John 15:18-20 (ESV) 18  “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19  If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20  Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. Devotion:             This scripture is compelling. It explains what happened to Jesus and His disciples some 2,000 years ago. The message of God is rarely welcome news for the world. It calls out many of the culture's favorite practices for what they are: sin. Ever since Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, humankind has been adamant about trying to hide or excuse their sin. Sin causes a barrier between humans and God that humanity cannot overcom...

Reflecting on Reformation Day

-
  On October 31st, millions of Christians around the world celebrate Reformation Day, a commemoration of a pivotal moment in church history. It marks the day in 1517 when Martin Luther, a German monk and scholar, nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. This act, challenging the practices and doctrines of the Catholic Church, ignited what we now know as the Protestant Reformation. The Courage to Stand for Truth Reformation Day calls us to reflect on the courage it takes to stand for truth. Martin Luther faced immense opposition and risked his life to speak against the corruption and abuses he saw within the church. His conviction was rooted in a deep understanding of scripture and a sincere desire to return to the teachings of Christ. As we remember Luther's bravery, let us examine our own lives. Are we willing to stand firm in our beliefs, even when it is difficult? Do we seek truth in God's word and let it guide our actions? Script...
