He’s a Wonder Working God
Jeremiah 33:3 — Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
I was driving home late one evening when a voice on the radio caught my attention. It was one of those stories where God captures your full focus—whether you planned on giving it or not.
A mother was sharing how God had met her in the middle of unimaginable news about her son. Doctors told her early on that her little boy would never hear. Years later, they added another diagnosis—eventual blindness. When she heard those words, disbelief washed over her.
The fear was real, but her confidence didn’t rest in her own strength. It rested in God.
In her desperation, she dropped to her knees and cried out, “I’m not leaving here until You heal my son.” More than anything, she wanted her child to experience God—to hear His voice. And now, that felt impossible.
Then she paused.
And in that stillness, God spoke: “Your son doesn’t need ears to hear Me. I speak to the heart.”
My jaw dropped. My heart swelled. Because that wasn’t just an answer—it was revelation. One of those “hidden things” God promises when we dare to call on Him.
The healing didn’t come the way she hoped, but peace did. The kind that quiets fear and settles the soul. God didn’t remove the diagnosis in that moment, but He removed the dread. And suddenly, that felt like a miracle too.
About a week later, I was working a local event for my boutique when I overheard someone mention a vendor around the corner who was deaf—and who also ran a Christian shop. I knew I had to meet her.
As we talked, she shared her story. Born deaf, she had never heard a voice—until the day God called her by name. Audibly. Clearly. For the first time in her life, she heard someone say her name.
Chills ran from head to toe.
I shared the radio story with her, and in that moment, I was reminded how alive and attentive God still is. Abundant joy comes from staying sensitive to His wonder. I never want to grow used to having a miracle-working God.
And just in case you’re wondering—the doctor’s prediction from that radio story never came true. That little boy has had no issues with his eyesight to this day.
What amazes me most isn’t just that God can do miracles—it’s that He invites us to speak to Him at all. He hears whispered prayers in moving cars. He listens to mothers on their knees. He responds in ways we never would have imagined.
God isn’t distant or distracted. And whether we think we’re equipped to hear Him or not, He knows exactly how to reach our hearts.
That’s the promise of Jeremiah 33:3: “Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.”
He doesn’t need perfect conditions to speak—He just needs open hearts willing to listen.
A MOMENT TO REFLECT
- When was the last time you truly called out to God—not with polished words, but with honesty and need?
- Are there places in your life where you’ve assumed God won’t speak because the situation feels impossible?
- How might God be answering you in a way you didn’t expect—but still deeply need?
- What would it look like to listen for God’s voice with your heart, not just your circumstances?
- Is there a story of God’s faithfulness—your own or someone else’s—that reminds you He still reveals “hidden things?”
