Scripture: Jeremiah 1: 4-6
4 The Lord gave me this message: 5 “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” 6 “O Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!”
Scripture Commentary: God set you apart and has a purpose for your life.
God knew us before we were born. When we were conceived in our mother’s womb, God knew each and every one of us. He set each of us apart and gave us a purpose.
Some of us don’t know our mission in life because we are caught up in worldly glitter and gold. We’ve blocked out God in exchange for what the world offers. But for some, this is not the case.
Accept God and learn your purpose.
Jeremiah felt inadequate but God told Jeremiah that he was valuable and had a purpose. Likewise, God has a purpose for you. To find out what it is, you must first accept God and His Son Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Only then can the door be opened.
Seek God and know His voice.
God is always present but you have to accept Him into your life. Like Jeremiah, you have a purpose. In Jeremiah’s case, he was to go to the nations and prophesy. Your path likely won’t be easy but God never will give you more than you can bear.
You are appointed. Do you know what your assignment is?
