God has a plan for each person!
Scripture reading for August 5th: Jeremiah 1-6
“The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:4-5) This scripture and others in the Bible indicate that God knows each person before they are formed in the womb! Ephesians 1:4 states that God chose us to be in Christ before the creation of the world! God knew everything before anything visible was even created! We are more significant than we might think to God and He has a plan for each of us!
Jeremiah was appointed by God to be a prophet. Prophets listen to God and then speak His thoughts and word to people God wants to talk to. God doesn’t do anything by way of judgment without warning people by the prophets. (Amos 3:6-7) When God spoke to Jeremiah he was only a child. God told him not to worry about his youth and inexperience, but to speak the word of God.
God promised to be with Jeremiah and deliver him. When any prophet spoke the word of God, it always brought some kind of response. God used His Word through the prophet to uproot and tear down or to build up and plant. (Jeremiah 1:7-9) God’s decrees often brought conflict that caused the need for His deliverance!
God gave Jeremiah a vision of an almond tree and asked him what he saw. The almond tree was the first tree to bloom in the spring in Israel and it was watched by all the people as a sign that spring was coming. God promised Jeremiah that He would watch over His word to bring it to pass. (Jeremiah 1:11-12)
I believe that as we read through the Bible, God will speak to us about our time and day! Listen closely for God speaking to you and confirming His call. He wants each of Jesus’ followers to share God’s Word and live by faith in it. He will watch over it and bring it to pass! We have a calling planned by our Father God before we were formed in the womb!
