Thoughts on Today's Verse…

In your everyday life, when you encounter various challenges and difficulties that leave you unsure of how to proceed, what do you do? Don’t be anxious. Read the following content, as it will provide you with help.

Jehovah God said, “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not” (Jeremiah 33:3). This passage was spoken by God to the prophet Jeremiah during his time of captivity in Babylon. God assured Jeremiah that if he earnestly sought Him through prayer, he would receive God’s response and revelations. This verse highlights God’s desire for people to genuinely call upon Him, to seek His wisdom and guidance. Especially in times of adversity, it is even more necessary for us to sincerely pray to God and seek His help to overcome difficulties. Just like when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, they faced the Red Sea in front of them and the pursuing Egyptian army behind them. With a sincere heart, Moses prayed to God and received His help. God parted the Red Sea, and the Israelites crossed over safely. Furthermore, there is the example of Daniel, who was falsely accused and thrown into a den of lions. With a sincere heart, Daniel prayed to God, and God sent an angel to shut the mouths of the lions, keeping Daniel unharmed. From these examples, we can see that when we sincerely look to God and offer our prayers to Him, we can receive His help.

In our everyday lives, each of us faces various challenges and hardships. We may encounter stress and troubles in our work, leaving us feeling helpless and confused. In addition, our marriages and families can experience disharmony and unexpected changes, leading to emotional distress and suffering. Furthermore, unexpected dangers and hardships may arise in life, causing us to feel powerless and fearful. However, this verse provides us with a path of practice. As long as we have genuine faith in God, entrust all our difficulties into His hands, and sincerely call upon Him, we will receive God’s response and obtain His help to overcome our challenges. This is also God’s promise to us. Just as God says, “When someone encounters an especially thorny difficulty, when they have no one to turn to, and when they feel particularly helpless, they put their only hope in God. What are their prayers like? What is their state of mind? Are they sincere? Is there any adulteration at that time? It is only when you trust God as though He were the last straw that you clutch onto, hoping that He will help you, that your heart is sincere. Though you may not have said much, your heart has already stirred. That is, you give your sincere heart to God, and God listens. When God listens, He sees your difficulties, and He will enlighten you, guide you, and help you.”
