Born with Purpose

Good morning; I pray that you found your way to the house of God on this past Lord’s Day. I pray that you worshipped Him in Spirit and in Truth. I sat down at my desk, and God reminded me what He has spoken to Jeremiah, living and preaching in the current conditions of our world. I thank God for the reminders in the Word of God. God told Jeremiah, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations” (Jeremiah 1:5). God told Jeremiah, “BEFORE I (God) formed thee,” this morning, I want you to know that God is the one who forms the babies inside the mother’s womb; God is the one who gives life. My friend, God has given you life this morning for a purpose; God created you in your mother’s womb for a purpose. Listen, God “sanctified and ordained” Jeremiah, a prophet before he was born into this world. Thank God Jeremiah’s mother gave birth to the prophet of God. When I held my four boys in my arms, I didn’t know what God had in store for them, but I can promise you, based on God’s Word, He has a purpose for them. Look at your children this morning, and tell them God has a purpose for their life. “Then the Lord put fourth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, behold, I have put my words in thy mouth” (v.9). I felt the Spirit of God as I was typing this verse into the devotion. God could be placing His hand on your child’s mouth right now, and no greater Power will anyone have than the Word of God coming out of their mouth. Precious Lord, I pray this morning that we as parents will remind our children that God has a plan for them, and as we speak, You are touching their lives for your purpose. Be Blessed in Jesus’ Name!
