Jeremiah 1-2, Psalms 138, John 18:1-27
What God said to me – It’s easy for you to think that Jeremiah was a special kind of super believer because I chose him before he was born to be My prophet to Judah and to warn them of the coming judgment. But he is no different than any other of My children. Before I formed each of you in the womb, I knew you and before each of you were born, I consecrated you also. The difference between you and Jeremiah is the time in history I placed you and the ministry I have called you to. Your calling may not have been as dramatic as Jeremiah’s, but I have still called you and gifted you for ministry to those I bring to you. Just remember even Jeremiah made excuses for why he felt he was not able or worthy, but I assured him that I would be with him and give him all he needed to do what I called him to do. I make the same promise to you – your part is to walk close to Me, staying in My word, going where I lead, and ministering as I direct. I will be faithful to speak to you and teach you and be with you as you go.
