Jeremiah 1-3

I wonder if we can take God’s words to Jeremiah in 1:5 and make them our own? 

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

And before you were born I consecrated you;

I appointed you a ___________________________________”

Now we can fill in the blank to state the gift(s) that God has placed in our lives.  Some of us he appointed to be pastors or teachers, and others of us are floor sweepers and silent servants.  All of his appointments are honorable and fill a glorious aspect in the work of the Kingdom.  We may not get the audiences before whom Jeremiah stood, but that may not be a bad thing all of the time. 

It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage.
