—Jeremiah 1:4-10
by: Grace Crouch.
In today’s passage, we see God’s commissioning of Jeremiah as His prophet. Jeremiah openly shared his fear with God about being too young and not knowing what to speak. God in turn told him not to be afraid, but that He would give him the words to speak. Like our commission from Jesus in Matthew 28, the call on Jeremiah to prophesy to the nations was not an easy one. It would be met with a lot of opposition and ridicule. We too might find reasons that we are not prepared for this work. How blessed we are that God can work abundantly through us in spite of our inadequacies.
