God’s Answer to the Call The Promise

God’s Answer to the Call

The Promise

“I will answer you

and tell you great

and unsearchable things

you do not know.”

  

Jeremiah 33:3-4 NIV

 God answers

the “CALL”

in Jeremiah 33:3.

God says,

“Nevertheless”

in other words,

it does not matter how bad things are…

“I will bring

health and healing.”

“I will let them enjoy

abundant peace and security.”

“I will cleanse them

of all sin.”

“Abundant prosperity and peace

I will provide.”

Oh, I almost forgot

this is Old Testament,

this is a word to Israel.

Does that mean God

would want anything less

for those who are

His people today?

NO!!!

God has always wanted

to bless His people,

whether Jew or Gentile.

Look again at the things

God wants to bless His people with.

Are not these

the necessary things

you and I need to live?

In the New Testament,

we are told God

will give us everything

we need for life and godliness.

When you and I cry out

for more of God,

we get more

of everything else we need!

So when you cry out to God,

focus on your need for Him

and everything else

will be added to you!

 

Scripture Reading

Jeremiah 33:2-11 NIV

 3'Call to me and I will answer you

and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'

4 For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel,

says about the houses in this city

and the royal palaces of Judah that have been torn down

to be used against the siege ramps and the sword

5 in the fight with the Babylonians:

'They will be filled with the dead bodies of the men

I will slay in my anger and wrath.

I will hide my face from this city because of all its wickedness.

6 "'Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it;

I will heal my people

and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.

7 I will bring Judah and Israel back from captivity

and will rebuild them as they were before.

8 I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me

and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me.

9 Then this city will bring me renown, joy, praise and honor

before all nations on earth

that hear of all the good things I do for it;

and they will be in awe

and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.'

10 "This is what the LORD says:

'You say about this place,

 "It is a desolate waste, without men or animals."

Yet in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted,

inhabited by neither men nor animals,

there will be heard once more

11 the sounds of joy and gladness,

the voices of bride and bridegroom,

and the voices of those who bring thank offerings

to the house of the LORD, saying,

"Give thanks to the LORD Almighty,

for the LORD is good;

his love endures forever."

For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before,'

says the LORD.
