God's phone # (Jeremiah 32-33, Hebrews 1)

It has often been said that Jeremiah 33:3 is God's phone number: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." The previous chapter warns of the destruction to come upon Israel due to their evil deeds (32:26-41). However the following verses and chapter promise God's restoration of his people and rescue from Babylonian captivity. If there was ever a time to call on God for the nation of Israel, this was the time. God's covenant could not and would not be broken (33:19-26). This was not the first time God would come to the rescue nor would it be the last (32:21). When was the last time you noticed yourself to be in trouble only to call on God and witness his providential hand guiding and protecting you?

Hebrews 1 explains the difference between the Son of God, his angels, and his people. In the order of hierarchy, Christ reigns supreme (1:4). Hebrews 1:4-13 describes the difference between angels and the Son of God. In fact, v. 6 says that all angels were to worship God. Verse 14 places angels below believers because they were sent to earthly/spiritual places to serve us. In serving God's people, angels meet their job description and thus serve God. You can worship and serve God right now by thanking Him for sending angels to help you in times of distress.
