Predetermined
Jeremiah 1:5 AMP
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you [and approved of you as My chosen instrument], And before you were born I consecrated you [to Myself as My own]; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
God knew Jeremiah long before he was born, that he would be an instrument of God. Jeremiah was insecure and he needed this affirmation from God in order to go and do what God wanted him to do. God saw who Jeremiah was going to be, and he laid a plan for Jeremiah, and He anointed him with everything that he would need, every step of the way, to be successful to his call.
God does the same for us. The Bible is full of people that are insecure but in God’s divine will He brings every individual to their potential if they will give in to His will. Predestination is often misunderstood. God saw us long before we were were born and preordained a plan for those who choose to believe in Him. Know that God has empowered, strengthened, equipped those that He knew long before we were born. Those who would turn to Him and work for Him, and those He has given special anointing to do what He needs for us to do.
Prayer:
Thank You Lord that You saw me from the foundations of the earth, and You knew I would turn to You. Thank You for special grace, anointing and the wherewithal to do what You need me to do in my corner of the world and with the circle of influence that You have given me. I hope I make You proud. In Your name Lord Jesus, Amen!
