"I will answer you..."

Good Morning,

Jeremiah 33:2-3 (New International Version)
"This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it—the LORD is his name: 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'"

So...You're sitting there quietly reading your Bible or maybe just thinking about this or that and, suddenly, a thought comes into your mind that you hadn't ever, at any point in your life, considered. Maybe it's about missions or mission trips. Perhaps about speaking at your men's or women's group. Possibly about sharing some insight you've never had with someone you know is having some problem or other. Well, the list, of course, is infinite of what could just "pop" into your mind.

And you wonder about it, of course, as we all do. Just where in the world did THAT come from? Why on earth would I consider something of that nature? Me? Speak in public? Go to some unknown village in South America or Asia? Am I losing my mind here???

I think the verse we read today gives a distinct possibility, even the probability, that these unsolicited thoughts might just come from God. Now, not only might this thought you've had come from God, it is also meant to be acted upon.

So, is it necessary this morning to write some long detailed treatise about this subject? I think not. I think, the thought that came to MY mind as I read this verse, that God is pointing out to us clearly the fact that He DOES place thoughts and ideas into our minds for His reasons and for us to carry out His suggestions in our lives.

The next time you have some "weird" thought about something, don't just ignore it. Stop and pray about it and ask God for more clarity. He'll answer you. He WILL make it clear.

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
