every birth; HIS BIRTH!

Jeremiah 1:4 & 5

"4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."

As we recognize we really are "Children of the Heavenly Father" and continue our study of young people in the Holy Scriptures; we turn to the book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah prophesied in Judah just before God’s people were taken captive to Babylon. Jeremiah's main message is the judgment coming to Israel because of their DISBELIEF and DISOBEDIENCE.

In today's verse we continue the message that GOD calls His people even before they are BORN! "Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, BEFORE I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and BEFORE thou camest forth out of the womb I SANCTIFIED thee, and I ORDAINED thee a prophet unto the nations." In the time preceding Jeremiah's BIRTH; GOD declared him holy and set him aside to become His prophet! This is a Holy decree from GOD! When Jeremiah was just a fetus in the womb.

Did his mother know? God "knit" him in her womb. God created Jeremiah personally.

Let that sink in...

Really think about it...

When GOD is working on the unborn setting them aside, declaring them for His Holy purpose; there is NO REASON to interrupt that process. His process. This makes every birth; HIS BIRTH.

Don't take that away from God.

obedient unto death

Philippians 2:8 "And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." Are you offended? The creator of the universe became incarnate and walked with people. He served people. He sacrificed Himself for you and me. Was this work beneath Him? Did He have to do this? Why is THIS God's plan? Who am I to question GOD'S plan? In this letter, Paul's Holy Ghost inspired writing tells us to put others’ interests ahead of our own. Paul tells us to live from a spirit of selflessness, compassion, and unity, reflecting the character of Christ and His love for humanity. A love that is truly "MIGHTY!" "MIGHTY" is one of the names the prophet Isaiah recorded for the Messiah. This is NOT the typical way to be "MIGHTY." Jesus is GOD, and all the glory and majesty that comes with that. And God came down from heaven to be born into the family of people. GOD lived with us and died for us. ...

the donkey

Luke 19:32-34 "32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as He had said unto them. 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him." God's Grand Plan is your REDEMPTION! Since GOD can make that happen, getting a donkey to ride into Jerusalem is easy! Before the celebratory crowd is shouting "HOSANNA!" Jesus sent 2 Disciples to get a donkey. What is described in today's verses is exactly the way Jesus said things would unfold. Here we can see Jesus is in charge of ALL creatures. The people and the donkeys! In the verses leading up to here we can read that the Disciples are not getting it. They are thinking the Messiah was going to take David's throne. Take Israel back from the Roman occupation. People did not understand God's Grand Plan. Even though Jesus told them all. On their way to Jerusalem they pass through Jericho. Zacheas was there, the...

encouragement

Ephesians 6:10 "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might." We continue our study of the Lord's Prayer. This week, "Deliver Us From Evil." is also translated as "Deliver Us From The Evil One." We need to remain "sober" and "vigilant." A big part of this is studying the Holy Scriptures, like we are doing. We want to form a solid united front against Satan. For the heart of our studies we turn to Paul's letter to the Ephesians. It was one of four letters Paul wrote while in prison in Rome. Paul cared deeply for the Ephesians. He lived with them for three years as this church was forming. He wants to encourage them and help them become successful. His words can help you and me today.
