Jeremiah 33 Commentary
by Brad Boyles
There’s a saying, “When you least expect it, expect it.”
In essence, this is what God states to Jeremiah as he’s still under arrest, confined in the courtyard of the palace guard. God continues to bring words of condemnation and hope for the people. Look at verse 3…
“Call to me, and I will answer you; I will tell you wonderful and marvelous things that you know nothing about.”
Jeremiah 33:3 GNB
I just love this statement. In troubling times, God reminds Jeremiah of who He is in this entire situation and that if he asks, God will tell
How often do we all look at the situation through eyes of reality when the reality is skewed? The truth is, God is Sovereign and in control of all things. He knows exactly what He’s going to do. He knows exactly what is going to happen. Although the pain may exist, He has something coming that is beyond what can be understood. These realities are unsearchable by human thought. As He is in control of all things, His word of assurance is “Ask Me!” Essentially, faith > facts.
There is so much we do not know or understand when it comes to hardship and pain. When things go wrong and situations continue to grow out of control, the only thing we can do many times is ask Him.
Maybe that’s what He’s waiting on.
