Jeremiah 33:2-3 (NIV) “This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it—the Lord is his name: ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’

I know God puts things in the Bible to instruct, guide, and comfort me. And in one way this sounds pretty interesting, this telling me great and unsearchable things I do not know.

But on another level, this scares me silly! What if I learn I am not as smart as I think I am? What if I find out many of the blessings I enjoy have nothing to do with my abilities or being a special pet of the Almighty? What if I find out I have not fulfilled my potential and I have left it too late?

Actually I have learned that I am not as smart as I always thought.  Survived it.

I have learned that I am not God's favorite, except to the extent that we all his favorite. Embraced it.

I have learned that I have a lot to learn but that God's understanding of time is very different than my own. Its never too late to be all I can be for God. Working on it.

I guess I'll keep working on trusting God to teach me things that deepen my understanding and with it, grow my relationship with my Maker and my Lord. After I get past the anxiety of learning the new thing, it is always enormously worth it.
