Nov 19 | I'm Calling You
Jeremiah 1:5-10
âBefore I formed you in the womb I knew[a] you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.â
6 âAlas, Sovereign Lord,â I said, âI do not know how to speak; I am too young.â
7 But the Lord said to me, âDo not say, âI am too young.â You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,â declares the Lord.
9 Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, âI have put my words in your mouth. 10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.â
Jeremiah 4:1-3
âIf you, Israel, will return,
then return to me,â
declares the Lord.
âIf you put your detestable idols out of my sight
and no longer go astray,
2 and if in a truthful, just and righteous way
you swear, âAs surely as the Lord lives,â
then the nations will invoke blessings by him
and in him they will boast.â
3 This is what the Lord says to the people of Judah and to Jerusalem:
âBreak up your unplowed ground
and do not sow among thorns.
âBefore I formed you in the womb I knew[a] you,
