God Gives You A Life Message
For centuries prophets had come
to God’s people with the ultimatum:
Shape up or God will ship you out
in judgment. But their message
fell on deaf ears and stony hearts.
At last it is time for God to show
His words are no idle threat.
He selects a messenger – Jeremiah,
the tenderhearted son of a priest
of Anathoth to announce that
Judah’s condition is terminal.
For their idolatry and indifference,
the people will reel in judgment
at the hands of the Babylonians.
Lord, we’ll Share Our Life Message:
The Lord gave me this message…
Before I formed you in the womb
I knew you, before you were
born I Set You Apart (Jer 1:4-5).
The Lord replied: Don’t say, I am
too young, for you must go where
ever I send you and say whatever
I Tell you. And don’t be afraid of
the people, for I will be with you
and will protect you. I the Lord
have spoken! (v7-8). The Lord
reached out & touched my mouth
and said: Look, I have Put My
Words in your mouth! (v9) Amen.
Lord, speak to my thoughts and
let me know which ones are Yours.
Help me Lord to discern the deep
impulses of my heart that comes
from You and to believe in them.
Thank You Lord for knowing me
completely before I was even born.
Honoured to be chosen by You
the Almighty God and Set Apart for
a special task. Show me and make
clear the tasks U have for me. Amen.
Lord, I don’t want to make excuses
for not doing Your will. But I feel
inadequate to do the things You are
calling me to do, including prayer.
Yet I don’t want fear to keep me
from doing it. I accept the exciting
though challenging opportunity.
I have to depend on You to do them
thro me; for after all You are the
author of all good things. Amen.
Lord, grateful & humbled as a sinner
that You have reserved a special task
including a message for me to share.
Thank You that I am sufficient to
the task because You will equip me.
Reveal to me Lord where and with
whom I am called to serve You.
Put Your Words in my mouth so that
I can pray by the power of Your Spirit.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
