| “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” |
| —Jeremiah 33:3 |
Have you ever spoken to someone in technical support or telephoned a friend to help you with a computer problem? At the end of the conversation, did that person say, “If you have any more questions, please call me?”
If he or she said those helpful words, a flood of relief may well have washed over you. You knew you could reconnect if you needed more help. It gave you a feeling of freedom that you could depend on someone who knew more than you did about how something worked.
In our lives as believers in the life-transforming power of the risen Lord Jesus Christ, we have an eternal help line available to us. We first look for help in the “Manual”—the Bible, God’s written Word. Next, we can connect with other believers and ask them for what they may think about a particular situation. But, most importantly of all, we can ask God in prayer to give us the direction we need. We do not have to remain trapped in the darkness. We can seek God’s Light for every situation we may encounter. The Prophet Jeremiah expressed this wonderful fact this way in Jeremiah 33:2-3:
“This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it—the Lord is his name: ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’”
No matter what wisdom, knowledge, understanding, or experience we may lack, we can connect with a source of knowledge that has limitless ability to shed Light on the confusion and darkness of any situation. And, as we begin another day, we should take comfort from knowing that the same God who loves us with His everlasting love, also stands ready to help us whenever we ask Him to do so.
