Jeremiah 1: 4-10 Then the word of the Lord came to me [Jeremiah], saying, Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.Then said I, Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am only a youth. But the Lord said to me, Say not, I am only a youth; for you shall go to all to whom I shall send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Be not afraid of them [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 the Lord said to me, Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have this day appointed you to the oversight of the nations and of the kingdoms to root out and pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.
As a child I was often asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Until recently, I was asking myself that very same question. Now my question is, "God, what is your will for my life. What is my purpose? What can I do your Kingdom?" God has a purpose for every one's life. Jeremiah 1:4, is says that God knew Jeremiah before he was even formed in his mother's womb. God knew you before you were conceived. He put us on this earth for a purpose. A good friend of mine is starting a tutoring company. She is a very intelligent women who is of an entrepreneurial spirit. She has been involved with other companies in the past, but she was constantly called to the tutoring field. She recently decided to go full force in launching her business. This will be her purpose and her witness. She will witness to others through her Christian based tutoring business. God places people in many different fields...science, health, education, it does not matter. What does matter is that when He does call you, that you be ready. What does God have for you? Diligently seek Him and be ready.
