‏ Jeremiah 33:3

Call to the LORD

Jeremiah is confined, but that does not prevent the LORD from sending His message to this man of God (Jer 33:1; 2Tim 2:9). The LORD first directs Jeremiah’s attention to Himself as “the LORD Who made” it (Jer 33:2). He is the God Who works it, whatever it is – except sin, for it is not in Him and He cannot sin. Jeremiah may know that, like Paul (Eph 3:1 ; Eph 4:1), he is a prisoner of Him. The LORD forms His plan and establishes His purpose. He works on a plan and also carries it out. “LORD is His Name.” That is the guarantee of everything.

When He has thus presented Himself, He encourages Jeremiah to call to Him, the LORD (Jer 33:3; Mt 7:7-8). He assures him that He will answer him. In that answer, He will make known to him “great and mighty things”. The things that Jeremiah does not know and no man can know, because they are beyond his human understanding and knowledge, the LORD will tell him when he calls to Him.

This is also a great incentive for us to call to Him. He wants to make known things that are beyond human understanding and require Divine revelation.
