Call, And I Will Answer

Jeremiah 33:3


Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

After my husband of 30 years died and I was trying to carry on the business he ran without him, the day came when I reached the end of my rope, with several crises happening all at the same time, and everyone turning to me for answers I didn't have. I didn't know how to deal with any of the problems that came up, so I closed myself up in my private room and cried out to the Lord. That is the day He gave me this verse. God told me that He would teach me many more truths to build my life around, things I didn't know yet, at that time.

Years have passed since that day, and today I can look back at all the things God has taught me through many portals of learning, things that have allowed me to deal with many trials and troubles, and things to encourage me, and so I can encourage others, too. Plans for me that I will only be able to fulfill in His power and wisdom, in His time for me. And He is still teaching me His ways, and what He will do in, through and for me to fulfill all His promises.
