«Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.» Jeremiah 33:3 (ESV)
Do you like surprises? I do! Once I got a very nice surprise party! I didn’t know anything about it, and suddenly I arrived at a place where there was a table full of delicious things, a fruit cake in the middle, and lots of friends!
Moms and dads like to surprise their kids. What have you ever gotten as a surprise? Were you happy?
Did you know that our heavenly Father loves to give presents to His children? He does it because He loves them very much. While the people of Israel were in that strange land, Babylon, God told them to keep calling out to Him because He was preparing surprises they couldn’t even imagine. What could it be? Ah! God was getting everything ready to take the people out of there and take them back to Israel.
Let’s practice!
Are you sad about something? Pray, just like the people in Babylon prayed, because I’m sure God has a surprise for you, too!
