“GREAT AND HIDDEN THINGS!”

 Jeremiah 33:1-3                    (ESV)

The LORD Promises Peace

“[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.”

Yes, this is the same text that I wrote about recently!  It might be that GOD KNOWS that in my humanity I can only grasp a limited amount of HIS REVELATION at one time and so HE had to “spoon feed” me HIS WORD in a measured way??  For the most part, I have always been operating “in high gear”, that is until HE “took” control of my life in July 2007!!!  It wasn’t as if I didn’t “try” to be the “same” person that I used to be?  Believe me, I did everything I could to bring back the “old” man, but GOD HAS A PLAN, and I didn’t have multiple options!  I HAD to WAIT ON THE LORD!!!! (Psalm 27:14)

GOD plainly says in Isaiah 55:8-9 “For MY THOUGHTS are not your thoughts, neither are your ways MY WAYS, declares THE LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY WAYS higher than your ways and MY THOUGHTS than your thoughts.”  GOD, in HIS INFINITE wisdom and mercy, graciously bestows (To present as a gift or an honor), nuggets of HIS WISDOM to those HE CHOOSES….WHENEVER HE CHOOSES!!  And HE does this on HIS TIMING, NOT ON MINE!!!

THE TIMING that the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSES ORDAINS (To order or decree by virtue of SUPERIOR AUTHORITY!) events to occur are TOTALLY and COMPLETELY in HIS CONTROL!!!  Having our EYES OPENED to SEE this TRUTH is something that might come BRUTALLY SLOW in our humanity??  But WHEN HE REVEALS HIMSELF to us, we, HIS CREATION, will SEE them as “GREAT AND HIDDEN THINGS” that YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN!!!  We are HIS CREATION, and we must remember that!!!
