Boldly Asking for Things We Do Not Know

Jeremiah 33:3

Call to me and I'll answer you, and will tell you about great and hidden things that you don't know.

The Word of God is very specific.  He spoke the words in today's passage directly to Jeremiah, but His promises are relevant for all men.  Wisdom and understanding concerning all matters of life are available to us.  All we have to do is ask Our Heavenly Father who loves us more than we can imagine.

Did you notice the little detail in the passage that He will give us answers to things that we do not know?  Did you consider this works for things big and small?  Need to know how to make a certain household repair that you find challenging, ask Him.  Need to know what direction to take your business or your career, ask Him.  Need some help in unravelling a complicated family issue, ask Him.  He promises to provide answers that have been hidden from us.  He will deliver answers for all these things at the time that He knows is perfect for us.

Our responsibility in receiving this awesome blessing is being persistent in asking for wisdom.  If we wait to call on Him when everything comes crashing down on us, we may not be able to handle all that God has ready for us.  It is a building process.  The Lord knows that we are not able to digest too much information at one time.  He will feed us slowly as a baby is fed liquids until it is ready to move on to more solid foods.  He will feed us in accordance to His will and plan for our lives.  His "new knowledge" for us will be dispensed at the perfect time.

Let us be bold and persistent in asking for "great and hidden things."  After all this knowledge is promised to us by Almighty God.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank you for providing the Holy Spirit to teach us all things, including secret things and inaccessible things.  We humbly ask You to provide us the wisdom that we need to get through each day.  We ask that each day You will build our understanding of who You are and what Your plan is for our lives.  We rejoice in knowing that all things are possible through Your Son, Jesus.  We ask all these things in the name of the One who determines our steps, Jesus Christ.
