“Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, “Before I formed thee in the womb I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:4-5)
In these two verses we observe God’s hand and influence in the life of Jeremiah and in our lives as well.
The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah when he was a young man. He grew up in the home of his father, Hilkiah, one of the priests of the Lord. He had been exposed as a young man to the things of God. We make a huge mistake today not bringing up our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and not exposing them to the things of God.
Notice the involvement of God upon children even before they are born.
- God forms us in the womb.
- He knows us even before we are conceived. It should come as no surprise to know that your life began at conception.
- God sets us apart for His service before we are born.
- While our assignment for life may not be that of prophet of God, He does have an assignment for us.
- God had His hand on you before you were born and still loves you and knows you. Have you surrendered your life to the One who knows and loves you better than anyone else?
Our nation is guilty of the innocent blood of millions of unborn babies aborted, slaughtered in their mothers’ wombs, with the blessings of Supreme Court justices and politicians who are worshipping at the altar of political expediency.
