Today’s Bible Reading: Jeremiah 33, 34; Psalm 74; 1 John 5

Scripture Focus:

Jeremiah 33:2 “Thus says the LORD who made it, the LORD who formed it to establish it (the LORD is His name): 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

1 John 5:14–15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

Observation:

In various places in the Bible God invites us to ask him for petitions, wisdom, help, whatever we need. He always promises to answer. Sometimes, like here in Jeremiah, he hints at even greater blessing when we ask—such as showing us great and mighty things that we don’t know about, so could not even ask about.

It’s almost like God is so excited about what he knows that he’s almost begging me to call on him.

Application:

Who can resist such an invitation to carry on a conversation with God Almighty? Yet do I take the time to stop and call on him? And listen?

Prayer:

Father God, thank you for making yourself so available to me.
