Have you had your JOY JUICE today? God knows just how many servings you need…and He generously shares!
In the book of Jeremiah we read in chapter one of how God called Jeremiah to be a prophet to Judah. In verse 5 God said: "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.”
These words were to be an encouragement to Jeremiah, but they are also for us, today. God wants us to know that He knows us…REALLY knows us. He knew us before we were formed in our mother’s womb. That kind of “knowing” isn’t a mere casual acquaintance, friends! That’s knowing all about us, every little detail: how many hairs are on our head, the number of cells in our body, the decisions we’ve made in the past and those yet to come…It’s knowing things about us that we don’t even know ourselves. AND the amazing thing is…He still loves us---warts and all!
SET APART
God told Jeremiah that he was “set apart”. So are we…That doesn’t mean we’re all to be prophets like Jeremiah. But what it does mean is that He created each of us with our own special purpose! What has God “appointed” you to do? Each day we should open our hearts before Christ and ask Him to show us how we can serve Him this day. When you are in the center of His will, you will be serving JOYfully.
Before you were born God set you apart….for a life of JOY.
