God's surprise package
Iread the book of Jeremiah 33:3 and it blew my mind off when I discovered the pack of promises and wonders that God was giving to the Israelites when they call unto him.
It says, ‘call unto me and I will show you wonderful and marvelous things which you have not seen’. Let’s look at this part which talks about being shown things they had not seen.
Remember, the Israelites came from Egypt and God took them through the wilderness where they witnessed great and mighty things.
They had seen and known the faithfulness of God in fulfilling what he had promised that he would at last get them out of Egypt, they saw him make a way in the sea and witnessed their enemies getting defeated.
Moreover, they witnessed provision of manna and also provision of water from a rock. What a package of miracles.
Nevertheless, many years later, the same God says, call unto me and I will show you what you have not heard and not seen. At this point it startles my mind of what kind of things God could be promising them now that they had seen such mighty things.
If the Israelites were being promised something far much above what they had seen, the same applies to us. He is ready to show us mighty and unknown things when we call unto him.
This is love of God, this is how much you are loved, that yes, you might have seen many things, but the lord is saying, I will show you things that you have not seen or heard. You might have gone through struggles but the faithful lord is saying that he will show you marvelous things in his word.
God is getting ready the unseen and the unheard things. We might have experienced the love of messiah in great depth but now every time we pray, the word is telling us that he will show us mighty things that we have not seen.
And you know what, the lord is faithful he will fulfill all that he promised. He has never failed and he won’t fail in this too.

What a God with all this love
