But I am a Youth?
Last night I called at home en-route to a friends house, All day yesterday I was feeling A little like Jeremiah, When You know you’re being called to do something, but just feel that because I’m only 24, I’m to young and there are many ohers older, with more experience and better enabled.
Hence when I was home alone for 10 minutes last night I set and read and re-read Jeremiah Ch1v4-10
Now the word of the LORD came to me saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Then I said, “Alas, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak’. “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD. Then the LORD stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me, “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. “See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, To pluck up and to break down, To destroy and to overthrow, To build and to plant.”
Well there is was, Have You ever read a verse in the bible and it seems like its the only verse in the Bible that matters and it seems to go from font 8 to font 72?
Well God was giving me the answer I had been searching for probably a few weeks now if I’m honest ‘ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak’. “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to deliver you,”
So next time you know that God wants You somewhere but you try to put it off with the excuse of age, read Jeremiah ch1.7b
