I'm so amazed at the goodness of God and how wonderful He is! I don't know why I'm continually amazed because he IS God and Hes awesome! End of story.
I read a verse, or a couple verses in my quiet time yesterday morning that really spoke to me. It was the first chapter in Jeremiah, where the Lord was calling Jeremiah to be a prophet.
here's what it said:
"Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations."
Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth." But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a youth'; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you", declares the LORD."
After i read that i was really encouraged. I thought about how Jeremiah was saying that he couldn't do it because he was only a child, but God thought differently. I just love how God uses so many people in so many different ways, and people of all different ages. There is another verse that talks about this in 1Timothy 4:12 which says, "Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. "
So just because you re young doesn't mean that God cannot use you. As long as you are following Him and seeking Him, if he wants to use you, He will.
One particular instance that i was just blown away at Gods majesty, happened last night. I had quite a boring day at work, nothing exciting happened, it was rather dull. When i got home, all the normal chaos was going on, and mom and a friend, Lauren, were doing a Bible study together. Now we've been witnessing to her for a while, and nothing seemed to sink in. She had bad experiences in church, and just didn't have good thoughts about Jesus and God and everything that goes along with Christianity. Lately the Lord has been working in her heart and drawing her to himself. She was asking questions about the Bible, and coming to our church. So last night when mama came home, she told me that Lauren accepted Christ has her Lord and Savior! Praise the Lord! What i mighty God we serve!!!! We now have a brand new sister in the Lord, and so very thankful for her!
So even if the rest of my day wasn't all exciting, that definitely made up for it!
