Enduring Word Bible- Call to Me

 Enduring Word Bible- #32

Jeremiah 33:3

"Call to me and I will answer you, 

and I will tell you great and hidden things

 that you have not known."

Somehow this verse- 

with the added in second part-

 is a hopeful thread in the week.

O have always remembered it as the first part,

but greatly appreciate the second half of the verse.

When the storms come,

when illness hovers 

and derails our days and weeks,

or disappointments mount up in piles,

the Lord promises peace.

He hears, he answers.

v. 11-

"Give thanks to the Lord of hosts,

for the Lord is good, 

for his steadfast love endures forever."

For Jeremiah in this time of unrest and challenge,

in the hands of the Babylonians,

 he is assured that a time of peace shall return.

And may we also know that this faithful God,

will deliver us here too, and into eternity.
