MONDAY NOVEMBER 4
“Do
not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you.” Jer 1:8 NKJV
ARE
YOU FEELING INSECURE? (1)
Jeremiah writes: “Then the word of the Lord came to
me, saying: ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I
sanctified you [set you apart]; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.’ Then
said I: ‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.’ But the Lord
said to me: ‘Do not say, “I am a youth,” for you shall go to all to whom I send
you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their
faces, for I am with you to deliver you,’ says the Lord. Then the Lord put
forth His hand and touched my mouth, and …said: ‘Behold, I have put My words in
your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the
kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build
and to plant…I am ready to perform My word’” (vv. 4-12 NKJV). Does the job you’ve
been called to do seem too big for you? On your own, it is, but not when you
include God! You’re not working alone, God is with you. Whether it’s to pull
down or build up, the One who called you will equip you, empower you, and give
you success. He didn’t make a mistake when He picked you. You say, “If only I
had the education, talent and experience of so-and-so.” If God wanted them, He’d have chosen them, but He
chose you. Just be yourself, trust
God, and everything will go well for you.
