Bible Verse of The Day – 9-22-23

Jeremiah 1:9-10 (NKJV) 9 Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. 10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.”

If you spend any decent amount of time reading the Old Testament, the sovereignty of God becomes more visible and irrefutable.

God uses man to carry out many of His plans, but it is God himself who lays those plans and orchestrates them.

He puts people and things in their proper places to make His plans possible, even when that means defying human logic, defying human understanding, and even defying the natural laws of science, physics, etc.

He is God. There is no one like Him.

The book of Jeremiah is full of examples of God’s sovereignty.

The choosing of Jeremiah as His prophet is just one of them.

God chose Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:1 – 5).

Jeremiah resisted, stating that he was too young (Jeremiah 1:6).

And God replied:

Jeremiah 1:7-8 (NKJV) 7 But the Lord said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.

God then touched the mouth of Jeremiah, commissioning him and setting him up to speak His word to nations and kings.

God has not changed. He is still in the business of building, planting, rooting out and pulling down, raising up kings and removing kings, all to carry out His plans in the earth.

Trust Him with everything. He is faithful and able to do what He says He will do.
