Day 43 - Do Not Fear:  God's Word of Hope for Every Day!

Today we turn to Jeremiah for our next round of verses.  Today's verses are from chapter 1:3-8 which tell of the call of Jeremiah when he was a boy - probably a geeky middle school aged boy with ill-fitted glasses and zits.  Here's how Jeremiah is called to serve God:

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 appointed you a prophet to the nations."

Then I said, "Ah, Lord God!

Truly I do not know how to speak, for I am only a boy."

But the Lord said to me,

"Do not say, 'I am only a boy';

for you shall go to all to whom I send you,

and you shall speak whatever I command you.

Do not be afraid of them,

for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord."

It's one of the great "call" stories in the Bible!  Listen in and see what it might have to do with you!

And here's a great old familiar song, How Deep the Father's Love For Us.  Enjoy and sing along!
