God's invitation here isn't "figure it out and I'll confirm you got it right." It's "call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known."

That cuts against the instinct a lot of people have to treat faith as something you should be able to reason your way into entirely alone, using only what you can independently verify. This verse describes a different path: reaching out first, and discovering things only after the reaching happens, not before.
