Call and God will Answer

“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” (Jeremiah 33:3)

The nation of Judah was facing seventy years of captivity in Babylon as a result of their unwillingness to repent and follow the Lord. God spoke through His prophet, Jeremiah, giving them the promise contained in these words of our text.

Sometimes we have gotten so far out of the will of God we are surprised to discover that God still loves us. God invites us to call out to Him for restoration.

God is willing to accept the prayer of the truly repentant. Call out to Him as a misbehaving child might call out to his parents when he has been sent to his room for his misbehavior.

Many people have been convicted by the Holy Spirit for their lost condition. They called out to God and discovered the promise in Romans 10:13: “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” They called unto God and He answered, showing them great and mighty things, the likes of which they had never seen before.

Unfortunately, Judah never called on God and never repented. They were taken into captivity by the Babylonians. And many lost people have not called upon the Lord for salvation and they face a fate far worse than Judah faced at the hands of the Chaldeans.
