Make The Call

God said, “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:3

God’s promise to us in Jeremiah 33:3 is absolutely worth paying attention to. Think about it for a minute. God, who created the heavens, and the stars, and the oceans, and the mountains, and created you and I, is the same God who wants us to call upon Him. Even more amazing,

God Will Answer You.

Invite Him into circumstances of your life. “Call on Me,” God is saying to you, “and I will answer you” He promises. “And will show you great and mighty things which you do not know.” 

Breathe

God said, “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:3

As an athlete you are taught at a very young age that when your time to shine has come, just breathe. As a performer getting ready to take the stage and your every nerve is on edge, you are told, just breathe. As a mother in childbirth you are told, just breathe. As a father when you feel like you don’t know how to care for your family you are told, just breathe. As a prospective employee walking into that final interview, you remind yourself, just breathe. 

Breath Is Life

There is something about breathing. The mere act of taking breath into our lungs calms the nerves and relaxes the mind. Now it’s time for you to take that simple act of breathing to a level far beyond your imagination. As you take that deep breath, whisper the name of Jesus. With each deep breath, simply say one name, Jesus. Invite the King of kings into your circumstance. “Call on Me,” God is saying to you, “and I will answer you” He promises. “And will show you great and mighty things which you do not know.”
