Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart, I appointed you as a prophet to the
nations.
This very familiar verse is once again my reminder of God’s
omniscience and purposefulness in His creation, even in my creation as a human
being. Regardless of one’s theological
beliefs or understanding of predestination, the beauty of this verse lies in
the reminder that God does have a purpose and a plan for me. Of course, I can appreciate
this far more when I am living close to Him than if I were a “wandering
soul” intent on my own desires. There is a depth of delight in the knowledge that I am living out God’s plan for me even if it
is not exactly what I had planned for myself!
He set me apart for this life,
and I find great comfort and joy in that. It is my destiny.
