Be ready for an adventure

Sunday January 28th, Jeremiah 1: 4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 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 is the calling of Jeremiah to step forth as a prophet. It raises the question, What is God’s plan for you? What does God have in mind for you to bring to the world? Most of us would scoff at such a prospect. So did Jeremiah. It is not a matter of what we think we are capable of, it is a matter of what God is calling you to do. Spend some time in prayer this week. Ask God what it is that God would have you do in this world. It may be an answer like the one John the Baptists gave to those who asked, to go about that which you already do, but with the justice of God as your guide. It may be that God has another path for you, one you may have never imagined for yourself. If you follow that path, be ready for an adventure.
