PROMISE #165 - JUNE 14
Promise #165:
Call out to Me and I will show you wonderful things you do not know.
Jeremiah 33:3 (WEB)
Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great things,
and difficult, which you don’t know.
Little children are the most inquisitive beings on the planet. They are filled with awe about their surroundings and continually ask their parents questions about what, where, when, why, how, and more. I love to see the interaction between these little ones and their loving parents. Daddy, why is the sky blue? Mommy, how come I have five toes?
It is wonderful to see the patience that loving parents have for all these questions. Although most of the time their children cannot comprehend even the simplest of answers, it isn't the answers that matter. What’s important is that parents make themselves available to their little ones and take as much time as needed to answer their questions.
When I think of this promise and how God has invited us to ask Him all the questions we want, I am reminded of the loving interaction between a parent and a small child. The thought that the God of the universe has all the time in the world to answer my questions is amazing! If you had parents who weren't available to answer your questions when you were younger, you might think that God will respond in the same way to you.
The truth is that God is the perfect Father, and He invites us to ask Him questions. His promise to us is that He will answer us and show us wonderful things that we do not know!

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you for having all the time in the world to entertain all my questions… even the silly ones. I pray that I never take this for granted and cherish our conversations as much as you do. For you encourage me to call out to you anytime, night or day, and you promise to show me wonderful things I do not know.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
Call out to Me and I will show you wonderful things you do not know.
