Today’s Scripture 

“Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 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. Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.”    

Jeremiah 1:4-12

Today’s Thought 

God had a purpose for your life before you took your first breath… God thought of you before your parents conceived you… God said, "I’m going to use these parents; I'm going to use them because I want to bless the world through YOU."

Today’s Confession 

Father God, thank you that I am fearfully and wonderfully made… You knew me and loved me from the very beginning, from the first intake of air into my lungs… You have a purpose for me; the skills and lessons I learned in life were in preparation for what you’ve called me to do… Help me to walk in your grace and fulfill my purpose.
