Chosen by God

Adapted from My Time with God

Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument]....

God told Jeremiah that before He chose him to be His prophet, He knew and approved of him. To me, that means that God knew everything Jeremiah would ever do, right or wrong. He knew every mistake that Jeremiah would ever make and still He chose him.

This truth should give each of us confidence concerning whether or not we are someone that God can use. God doesn’t choose us because of our perfection. If we love Him and are willing to let Him work with and through us, that is all He requires.

Prayer of the Day: Father, I know You know everything there is to know about me and You still choose to be in relationship with me. Thank You, for choosing me in spite of my many imperfections. Help me to continually trust Your plan and help me to cooperate with You as You work through me, amen.
