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.

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!
