The Great Things about Great Things

Call to Me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which your do not know. Jeremiah 33:3 Sometimes all we want to do is survive. But God has bigger, more wonderful plans for us than merely survival. In fact, God’s plans for us may be, at times, beyond our comprehension. As stated in Jeremiah, the promise may be clear and strong, but the path we must follow may not be easy. God doesn’t guarantee a smooth ride. God’s great promises often involve great challenges to test our faith in and our loyalty to Him. As we respond to His promise, we need to have our eyes and ears open. God’s path to freedom may first take us where we suffer in order to purge hearts of impure desires, and God’s path to blessing may wind through severe loss. Through it all we must cling to His promise and to God Himself. We must reflect on His goodness and greatness and remember how He worked in the lives of men and women who trusted Him with their lives, their hopes, and their futures. Then we will trust Him too – and we will learn more about the great plans He has in store for us. “The thing is to understand myself, to see what God wishes me to do, to find the idea for which I can live and die.” – Soren Kirkegaard Please post a comment below or send me an email at curtis.songer@gmail.com
