The central theme of this song is the invitation to commune with God, a privilege available to all believers. The foundational scripture from which these lyrics draw their inspiration is Jeremiah 33:3: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." This divine call is an invitation to discover the depths of God's wisdom and mysteries that transcend human understanding. Let us examine what the Word of God declares.
The scripture in Jeremiah arises during one of the most tumultuous periods in Israel's history. Jeremiah, known as the "Weeping Prophet," spoke these words while confined under King Zedekiah's orders. Jerusalem was under siege by the Babylonians, and the nation faced impending judgment due to its persistent idolatry and disobedience.
By uttering these words, God reassured Jeremiah that despite the dire circumstances, He remains sovereign and intimately engaged with His people. God, the Creator of the earth, the One who formed and established it, proclaims His desire for His people to reach out to Him. This was not a message solely for Jeremiah, but a timeless principle for all who find themselves in situations of despair or uncertainty.
The key Hebrew word in Jeremiah 33:3 is "נִצְפָּנוֹת" (nitsfaniot), translated as "unsearchable" or "hidden." This term implies that these things are inaccessible by human effort or reasoning. The imagery suggests a treasure locked away, beyond reach, unless revealed by the divine.
Another significant term is "קְרָא" (qara), meaning "call." This word emphasizes not just a verbal request but an earnest plea, an invocation that demands the listener's attention. It is not a casual mention; it requires intention and intensity. Understanding these terms enhances our grasp of the depth of the divine-human interaction and the extraordinary wisdom available to us through God’s revelation.
The repeated invitation in the song emphasizes God’s promise to those who reach out to Him. It mirrors the biblical narrative that God desires relationship and communication with humanity. Throughout Scripture, we see this consistent call to seek God’s face, as seen in Psalm 27:8, "When you said, 'Seek My face,' my heart said to You, 'Your face, O Lord, I shall seek.'"
The lyrics “I will show you mighty things, hidden things you have not known” align with Ephesians 3:20, which tells us that God can do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, which includes revealing the unknown. The "mighty things" are the acts of God's power and breakthrough, and such things are beyond what man can achieve or even conceive without Divine intervention.
Furthermore, the invitation to “pray to me, seek my face” reflects the deeper call to fellowship and deeper intimacy with God. This is beautifully echoed in Deuteronomy 29:29, where the "secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever." It is through this process of calling and seeking, that God imparts wisdom, insight, and revelation.
1. Engage in Prayer Consistently: The practice of consistent prayer aligns with God's call to seek Him. As Jesus taught, we should ask, seek, and knock (Matthew 7:7). Begin each day acknowledging His sovereignty and inviting His wisdom into your life.
2. Develop Spiritual Listening: Be attentive to the Holy Spirit. Psalm 46:10 instructs us to "Be still, and know that I am God." Cultivating a quiet spirit allows us to hear His voice and perceive His guidance throughout our day.
3. Study the Word of God: Embrace the discipline of delving into the Scriptures. By understanding God's ways and character through His written Word, you open yourself to greater revelation. Joshua 1:8 advises us to meditate on the Word day and night.
4. Seek Fellowship with Believers: Engage in community with other believers who seek the same depth of relationship with God. "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another" (Proverbs 27:17). Sharing insights and testimonies builds faith and aids understanding.
Proclamation:
In the name of Jesus, I boldly declare that I will call upon the Lord, and He will answer me. He will show me great and unsearchable things. I will seek His face, and He will reveal His mysteries to me. I am a recipient of God’s wisdom and revelation.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I thank You that Your Word is alive and active. Teach me, Lord, to call upon You in truth and fervency. Open my eyes to the hidden wonders of Your kingdom. Fill me with wisdom and understanding, that I might walk in Your ways and honor You. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
