Jeremiah 33:3- “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”

When I was traveling as a Youth Evangelist, Jeremiah 33:3 was a memory verse I would teach the children. The children would oftentimes stumble through the verse with one hand out ready to receive a prize for their sometimes suspect ideas of memorizing. While handing out my incredible assortment of really cheap prizes to the children, I remember thinking of the blessings these children would receive if they would only believe the very powerful verse they where quoting.

Throughout life*s changes, a beautiful wife, two wonderful children, and much more responsibility, I have never forgotten this verse. Life gets complicated, heavy, and sometimes overwhelming.

Did you know that Jesus never wants you to quit calling on him?

When you have found yourself in a huge mess and all your card house walls are ready to crash in, Jesus is waiting for you to call on Him. If you stand back and look at what you*ve become and wonder how you got there, if drug addiction, alcoholism, financial debt or anything is looming over you like a huge wave ready to crash, you can call on Him.

Psalm 91:15, He shall call upon me and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.

Christian, who have you been calling on? What is stopping you from calling on the name of the Lord for help? I often wonder today if any of the hundreds of children I gave gifts to still remember that verse and if they still believe it.
