Trust In Christ By Faith

Although we all have an assurance that the Lord knew each one of us before we were born and has scheduled each day of our lives, very few prophets were consecrated by God before they were born and appointed to be a prophet to the nations.
Jeremiah did not aspire to become a prophet or attend a school of prophets to learn the skills of 'profiteering' as is the case with many false prophets. He was not a prophet because of his ancestry nor did he receive it as an honorary entitlement.
Jeremiah may have been divinely chosen and empowered by God for his prophetic ministry, but he was a man who was humanly hesitant and reluctant to take up this God-ordained role... and he was a man who had to endure much hardship during his ministry because of his God-ordained position.
Just as God had a call on Jeremiah's life, He has a call on the life of all who trust in Christ by faith, and God can use anyone in the furtherance of his redemptive plan if we are willing to submit to Him and be used by Him.
“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.”

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the reminder in Jeremiah that you formed each one of us in the womb and thank You that You have scheduled every day of our lives. Thank You for the example of Jeremiah the prophet who was willing to suffer hardship, loneliness, pain, and rejection for the furtherance of Your will and to pen portions of holy Scripture for our learning. We pray that from this day forward, our lives may be dedicated to You and that You would use us to fulfil Your will in our lives, for Your greater praise and glory. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
