"Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3. . . . It's easy to forget the words and promises of God. We say we love Him, we worship Him, but as soon as things become the slightest bit challenging, confusing, or uncertain, we cry out to Him in frustration, maybe even anger: "Why did You let this happen? How could You do this to me?", or something along those lines. In the face of trials, it's easy to forget that the God we are currently pointing our fingers at is the God who has never and will never fail to fulfill His promises or to answer us--whether we deserve it or not. . . . This past weekend, I was the one pointing fingers. At one point, sitting on my parents' rooftop looking out at the Baltimore Harbor, I felt tears escape my eyes when I realized how frustrated I was...not necessarily *at* God, but more at my inability to understand His ways. In that moment, I felt incredibly alone, not because there wasn't anyone beside me, but because I didn't sense His Presence or hear His voice...I didn't feel at all joyful or worshipful. Just doubtful and grieved: "What do you want from me, God?" I remember asking Him later that evening. . . . The next morning, God placed this passage (Jeremiah 33) on my heart, and I immediately clung to these words: "Call to Me and I will answer you." God hadn't been ignoring me; He had been waiting for me to return to His Word, to trust in His promises and remember His unconditional love and faithfulness (not just this once but for the past 21 years). . . I'm still learning how to give my whole heart to God. Although I'm in a much better place than I was in before, I know my joy will only last as long as I intentionally seek and trust in God's Word, no matter the situation. This is His answer. . . "I want to know You, I want to hear Your voice. I want to know You more. I want to touch You, I want to see Your face, I want to know You more." . . #alwaysseeking #alwaysfaithful #Hehears #Heanswers #jeremiah33 #neverforget #neverforsaken #hillsong #iwanttoknowyou (at Fell's Point, Baltimore)
