"CALL TO ME!"

Jeremiah 33:1-3
"1 The WORD of the LORD came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the guard:
2 "THUS SAYS THE LORD WHO MADE THE EARTH, the LORD who formed it to establish it-the LORD is his name:
3 "CALL TO ME" and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known."




There's not a lot of time for conversation, so I will get right down to the meat of the matter.  Scripture says that Jeremiah "STILL shut up in the court of the guard"!  I'm sure if I studied this a little deeper I could discover exactly what the court of the guard was, but suffice it to say that Jeremiah was LISTENING TO THE LORD!  It seems modern day Believers are TOO BUSY with the things of "this world" to discern what GOD is saying to them.  Even Believers can be deceived into following their own plans instead of WAITING ON THE LORD!

Jeremiah 17:9-10 says "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds."  The enemy knows how impatient I am so he attempts to offer a cheap alternative to GOD's Plan that "appears" to be a viable solution for the problems facing mankind today.  GOD is the only ONE WHO has answers to the issues that lie before us, but we have declared GOD to be "off limits" from our politics and public square?   We don't want to wait on an answer from HIM, instead we want a solution offered by man to problems that are too big for man to comprehend!  When will we SEE that GOD IS THE SOLUTION and not the problem?

GOD is telling us "CALL TO ME" and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known, yet we are moving at such a pace that we cannot hear HIM!  I'm not even sure we WANT to hear from HIM!  Who in today's society would "shut (themselves) up in the court of the guard" to be able to hear from GOD?  Who would want to slow down enough to get directions from a SPIRIT WHO cannot be confirmed by "this world"?  On the other hand, WHO can give any better direction????

Until we stop looking to a human for direction and return to WAITING for a WORD from the LORD, we will continue in the whirlpool of following "this world" into destruction.  Our only hope is to "CALL TO ME" and seek HIS guidance from this storm we are in and TRUST HIM to lead us in the path we should go.  GOD made the earth so it's only right that we TRUST HIM to lead us!  Jeremiah knew that he had to be "shut up" from the rat-race of society to hear from GOD!  It's time we get alone with GOD, listen for HIS direction, and "CALL TO ME" and TRUST that HE will answer!!!
