Jeremiah’s Reluctance and God’s Reassurance
Jeremiah was hesitant when he got his divine call. He doubted his ability to speak for God. This was because he felt too young and inexperienced. But God, showing wisdom and kindness, promised to help him. He vowed to be by Jeremiah’s side, giving him the courage and wisdom needed.
God telling Jeremiah that he would be protected against enemies was very comforting. He also promised to put the right words in Jeremiah’s mouth. This way, Jeremiah would speak powerfully and confidently for God.
Jeremiah’s experience is inspiring for anyone who faces self-doubt and fear. He shows us that God’s support is always there. With God on our side, we can find the courage to do what He asks of us.
We all might feel unsure and scared at times. We might question if we are capable or if we should even try. But, knowing that God is with us, we can step forward. He guides us and gives us strength to face all challenges.
2 Prophets like Jeremiah could trace their heavenly election as clearly as their earthly parentage, indicating a deep conviction in their calling. Formative influences on Jeremiah’s character included the character of his mother, the priestly office of his father, the beauty of his birthplace, and the association with godly families and prophets. God promised Jeremiah appropriate words to convey His messages, indicating divine guidance and inspiration in his prophetic work. Jeremiah was assured of directness and deliverance in his speech by God, emphasizing the presence and support of the Divine. A missionary’s call to service was rooted in the foundational belief of ‘All power is given unto Me, go ye, therefore,’ showcasing a strong sense of calling without the need for a supernatural vision. Young individuals in service to God often experience fears of weakness, ignorance, unworthiness, and the enmity of others, highlighting common struggles faced by those called to serve. Comfort for God’s servants in anticipation of labor includes assurance of the divine calling, knowledge of God’s purpose, the promise of God’s presence, and the fact that the message is from God.
Trusting in God’s reassurance brings courage. It lets us embrace and fulfill our calling. Just like Jeremiah learned, doing God’s will does not make life easy. But it allows us to rely on God’s guidance and strength through all struggles.2
Jeremiah’s story reminds us that our faith journey will have doubts. Yet, in these moments, God’s comfort and support are there. Knowing we are equipped by God, we can face our tasks boldly.
When we follow God’s will and accept our calling, we can be confident. We are sure that God is always with us, never abandoning us. His support and guidance lead us to boldly share His message.
