Jeremiah 33:3
Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.
After my husband died and I felt overwhelmed with all the responsibilities I was left with, when I came to the end of my rope, this was the knot I tied into it to hang on. God showed me this verse, and I believed Him to do just that. I trusted Him.
Since that day, so many years ago, God has taught me so many wonderful things in His Word, truely great and mighty things.
And He is still teaching me. I expect that He will continue to grow me in grace and knowledge, as long as I live, and as long as I still seek Him and His ways.
God always keeps His promises, always.
Whenever you come to a promise He has made, you can trust Him to keep that promise. Many of His promises are conditional: if you will--then I will. But some are totally unconditional. Some are for individuals in Scripture, like to Abraham to give him a son by Sarah. Most are for all of us, as the promise at the top of this page.
This is conditional: I must call to Him, I must be open to accept what He says, and seek His will. Then He will show me, teach me, tell me stuff that is meaningful to me in my life right now. Interesting things, obscure connections that I would have never dreamed had anything to do with anything else, but it all makes sense.
I've been able to connect a lot of dots to see a much bigger picture. I understand now that our Bible gives us the whole history of our Earth, the Age of Man, from before its beginning to beyond its end.
And I believe (with Paul) that Jesus will return in my lifetime.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
