The book of Jeremiah is one of my favorite books in the bible, the story reminds me a lot of "me!" as I journey in the this book I want to venture off in his footsteps. Just in the first chapter alone we see the birth of a next generation leader. I will be sharing 3 things that caught my attention from the 1st chapter of Jeremiah throughout the week:
Jeremiah 1:4-7- We all have heard this story plenty of times, but if you haven't then give it a read. The call of Jeremiah is like no other. God goes back to the beginning as He gives Jeremiah specific details of how and when he called him. These scriptures also reminded me of another thing (which might seem odd) but it reminded me of the "ROCK!" The "Rock" has a famous line that is small but straight to the point and that is, "IT DOESN'T MATTER..." I could just picture "J" (Jeremiah) giving God an excuse "But God I am only a boy" and as he was getting prepared to give his next excuse, God interrupted him with a loud, "IT DOESN'T MATTER!!" See with God no excuse is valid, no excuse is to great, no excuse is worth it. I'll always remember what Fernanda would always tell me when I wanted to slack off in my scripture classes "No excuses just results." as much as I hated hearing that, it was true. "Excuses birth complacency!"
