Wisdom from Above

‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’   Jeremiah 33:3

I was talking and pondering to God in my soul. Then came wisdom from above.

I asked Him why her ways had changed and why she always seemed to ignore me when I am around her.  What, I wondered, had a done to her?  What could I do differently?  Where had I gone wrong?

He answered, but unexpectedly.  Instead of showing me the wrong in my heart, He showed me a time when I had corrected her.  It was correction in which He had directed.  Her sin had been that she listened to the world over Him and then she proceeded to tell others to do the same.  When I heard her advice to the class, He began to disquiet my soul, such that He used me to correct her and tell His truth later.  Although I did not know it at the time, I suppose she had not liked it.  Perhaps she was harboring bitterness or resentment over the matter, but that was unclear to me.

He whispered to me, “The coldness she sends your way she unknowingly intends for me.  Pray for her.”

I felt surprised by this.  Surprised that a loving God had entrusted me with His secrets, had shown me the heart of another, had asked me to pray on her behalf.

What unsearchable things would you like to know?  Ask Him!
