Welcome to Every Thought Captive, I’m Phil Steiger.
How well would you communicate with someone if you did not speak their language? If you wanted to talk to them, how much effort would it take to communicate? No doubt it would take a good deal of work and time. Now ask yourself, how well do you communicate with God?
In Jeremiah 33, God tells the prophet, “Call to me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.” The word for “call” here means a deep and serious request, and is sometimes used to describe the roars of animals. When God tells Jeremiah to call out to Him, he certainly does not intend it to be shallow and half-hearted. I should ask myself, have I called out to God in this way?
I communicate well with my wife because we talk on a daily basis. I may not communicate with God well because I have not put the same amount of effort into talking with Him.
