耶利米書一章1-10節
神的小僕人
經文:
1便雅憫地亞拿突城的祭司中,希勒家的兒子耶利米的話記在下面。
2 猶大王亞們的兒子約西亞在位十三年,
3 從猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬在位的時候,
4 耶利米說:耶和華的話臨到我,說:
5 我未將你造在腹中,我已曉得你;你未出母胎,
6 我就說:主耶和華阿,我不知怎樣說:因為我是年幼的。
7 耶和華對我說:你不要說我是年幼的,
8 你不要懼怕他們,因為我與你同在,要拯救你,
9 於是耶和華伸手按我的口,對我說:
10 看哪,我今日立你在列邦列國之上,為要施行拔出,
耶利米很年輕的時候,上帝就感動他,呼召他,
今天的人不會嫌棄你年輕,反而會嫌棄你年老。
禱告:
親愛的天父,拔出和栽種是先知的工作,最重要的是建立信徒。
Jeremiah 1:1-10
Jeremiah was called to be the prophet of the Jews when he was a child. He was clearly told to tear and destroy, to build and plant. They are difficult tasks but are clearly jobs given by the Lord.
Nowadays people do not look down on you when you are young, but when you are old. We need to build up the next generations but we also need to respect the seniors. We are called to do what God gives us no matter what stage we are in life. If the task is given by God, we should obey.
Tear and plant, are noble jobs to ultimately build up believers.
