The call of Jeremiah.
Jeremiah, like other prophets, did not believe he was capable and ready to speak for God. He believed that he was too young and unprepared. God reassures him that he knew Jeremiah not only before he was born but before he was conceived. Our God plans and carries out his plans well in advance. Nothing escapes God’s attention. He is not surprised by the events of life. He knows what human beings are going to do before human beings devise plans. We cannot think more deeply, rationally, or wisely than God. It is not wonder that he is worthy of our praise and worship. When we trust God and his planning, then our faith increases. The events of life may surprise us, but God is aware and like Jeremiah still is looking for people who live with confidence and faith in the world. Our God is an awesome God.
