God’s Great Promises
Jeremiah 33:3
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Have you ever wondered if God really answers prayer? Here is a promise that He has made to us all.
In this portion, Jeremiah was in prison and probably wondered the same thing. Israel was in great problems with the enemy coming at them and little hope of deliverance. God spoke to him in his prison cell and promised him that if Jeremiah would call, then God would answer, and not only answer, but show great and mighty things which he did not understand.
This promise is for us also. We can come to the Lord in prayer and expect that He will hear our prayer, and He will answer it in a way so great that we do not expect.
He also gives us another great promise in Philippians 4:6-7. Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. This promise brings with it God’s peace that is available while we wait for the answer to be fulfilled. This promise takes away the anxiety of worry knowing that God hears us when we pray, and we can be assured of His coming answer. As a result, we are able to thank Him for the complete fulfillment of our prayer in advance, even though we don’t see the answer as yet.
For this we praise the Lord for His promises of Jeremiah 33:3 and Philippians 4:6-7, as we keep on praying.
