"Call unto me and I will answer thee, and show thee
great and mighty things which thou knowest not."
Jeremiah 33: 3

Many people are looking for a word from God but look in
all the wrong places.
Our Lord gives us many promises of His faithfulness
and instructs us in ways of righteousness, through the Scriptures.
 He will speak to our hearts through His Holy Spirit, in
many different ways. We learn to hear, as we talk to our Savior
 in prayer, and wait upon the Lord. God also speaks
to the hearts of men, through the words of His servants.
The good news of the Gospel proclaimed still saves, delivers
 heals, and sets souls free.

Just as in days of old, we have a promise and know God rescues
 the perishing and cares for the dying. They must first hear His
voice speak to their heart, and believe upon Him. Our Lord
stands ready to receive whosoever will call upon His name,
 in faith believing.

God will work all things for our good, when we love him and
are the called according to his purpose. ( Rom. 8: 28) The
answer to our prayers may not always be the way we may think
 they should be, but will be according to the perfect will and
 wisdom of our Father, who knows best.

The writers of the Scriptures trusted in the Lord, and it is
 written how God delivered them. Many suffered persecution
 and some were even put to death, for the cause of Christ. These
 had a far better county and eternal rewards awaiting them.
Because they trusted in God, they were never confounded.
Our Lord doesn't ask us to die for Him, but to live each
day for Him. We must crucify our flesh and walk in His Spirit,
to be victorious in our walk with God.

May we also pray and seek God's will, instead of our own will.
He, who promised to always be with us and see us through, is
 faithful to do all He has spoken. When we let go of our ways and seek the Lord's, we will find joy unspeakable and
full of glory. Our Lord supplies all our needs, according to
 his riches in glory.

The Lord's "blessed assurance" is the best assurance this world
 has to offer. May Jesus be glorified as our Savior, Lord,
and soon coming King. Keep seeking and asking God for His
divine will and direction. He will hear and answer, as
we call upon His blessed name. The answers to our prayers
may not come when we expect them, but they will always
be right on time, according to God's
perfect will and plan. Can we hear Him speaking?
