The song's central theme is taken from Jeremiah 33:3. The Lord declares, "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." As we examine this scripture, it beckons us to approach the Throne of God with confidence and expectation. The creator of the universe invites us into an intimate dialogue, promising revelation beyond our understanding. What a profound promise! It becomes imperative that we dive deep into the Word of God to uncover the layers of this divine invitation.
Jeremiah 33:3 is set in a time of immense turmoil and distress for the people of Israel. The prophet Jeremiah ministered during the final years leading to the Babylonian exile. As Jerusalem faced siege and destruction, God called Jeremiah to offer a message of hope and restoration. Here, God speaks to Jeremiah, imprisoned in the court of the guard. Despite the looming destruction, this verse highlights God's assurance and His willingness to reveal His plans for redemption and restoration to those who seek Him.
Let us take a closer look at two key words in this verse: "call" and "unsearchable."
Understanding these words grants us insight into the urgency and depth of communication God desires from His children. It is not a passive asking but an earnest seeking and yearning for His presence and knowledge.
### Call to Me and I Will Answer
The repeated exhortation in the song to "call" and seek God assures us that God is near and attentive. Psalm 145:18 reinforces this: "The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." This is about establishing a relationship based on sincerity and truth, which God responds to.
### Hidden Things and Mighty Revelation
The song echoes God's promise to reveal "mighty things" and "hidden things," aligning with Ephesians 3:20, where God's ability to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine is highlighted. Our finite minds cannot comprehend the full extent of His wisdom and knowledge. The calling is akin to entering a divine mystery, where the Holy Spirit, as our Counselor (John 14:26), illuminates the hidden truths of God's kingdom.
### Prayer and Seeking the Face of God
The encouragement to "pray" and "seek my face" is a consistent biblical imperative. 2 Chronicles 7:14 states, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face... then I will hear from heaven." This seeking is about earnest pursuit and fellowship. God desires more than ritualistic prayers; He seeks earnest and zealous communication with us.
### The Creator's Sovereignty
The reference in the song to "He who made the earth" reminds us of God's omnipotence. The creator who established the earth is sovereign over all things. As Colossians 1:16 says, "For by Him all things were created... all things were created by Him and for Him." His power ensures that what He reveals is to be trusted and is grounded in divine authority.
1. Cultivate a Habit of Persistent Prayer: Just as the Hebrew word "qara" suggests, develop a robust prayer life where calling out to God becomes second nature. Set aside daily time to pray, being honest and specific in your communication.
2. Seek Intimacy through the Word: Dive into the Bible with the understanding that it holds keys to the "unsearchable things." Meditate on Scripture, asking the Holy Spirit to expand your revelation of God's ways.
3. Expect Divine Insight: Enter your prayer time with faith-filled expectation. Declare God's promises aloud, knowing that He intends to reveal His deep mysteries to you as a part of His operating plan for your life.
4. Align Your Heart with God's Desires: As you seek Him, align your motives with God's will, ensuring that your requests and pursuits are not self-serving but are centered upon His glory and purposes.
Proclamation: I call upon the Lord with confidence, for He promises to answer me. I receive revelation of great and mighty things—hidden truths beyond human understanding. I declare my commitment to seek His face and know that He will reveal His mysteries to me.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for the open invitation to call upon You. I stand on Your promise of revelation and wisdom. I ask for Your Holy Spirit to be my guide, unveiling the hidden and mighty works You have prepared. Align my heart with Your desires, and let my life reflect Your truth and glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
