Jeremiah chapter 33, verse 3, call to me and I will answer you.

And I will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

Did you hear that?

This is God speaking to his people in the book of Jeremiah, saying, call to me. This is an

invitation from God. Call out to me, and I will answer you. Just imagine being Jeremiah,

hearing this invitation from God. Call to me, Jeremiah, and I will speak to you. I, the God

of the universe, will speak to you. And I'm going to tell

you great things that you've not known. I'm going to tell you hidden things that you would not know

any other way, apart from calling to me and me answering you. What an invitation. Now, we always

want to be careful when we read in the Old Testament

and we see specific promises at specific times to God's people in specific circumstances, not to just

immediately say, okay, that promises for me and this time and this circumstance in the same way,

especially when we consider the differences between the Old Covenant, the New Covenant,

and we look at commands and promises that we see in the New Testament that are reiterated in the Old Testament. All that to say, the New Testament makes abundantly crystal clear that you and I have been invited into a relationship with God like this, that we have been invited to call

out to him. And God has promised to answer us and to reveal himself to us, to reveal great

and hidden things that we would not know otherwise. So it all begs the question,

are you and I taking advantage of this invitation? Are you and I responding to this

invitation? This is an invitation for you and me today. This is why we get up out of bed

in the morning, maybe even before we get out of bed, but as soon as we get out of bed, as soon as possible in our day, we come before the Lord

and we call out to Him.

Like, why would we go on through our day and spend so much time day after day after day,
