Jeremiah prophesied to the nation of Judah beginning with the reign of King Josiah in 627 BC until sometime after the destruction of Jerusalem in 586. In Jeremiah 1, we see God calling for Jeremiah to take a message to the people of Judah. The message will be a hard one, but God starts off with a message for Jeremiah that will help carry him through the difficult times. God comes to Jeremiah and tells him that God has been intimately involved with Jeremiah since the moment of conception. God formed Jeremiah in the womb. God knows Jeremiah inside and out. God is calling for Jeremiah’s surrender. Jeremiah questions God at this point. He knows he is a weak man and that the burden he will carry is hard. God promises that Jeremiah will never walk alone. God will go with him. It is a promise that we can experience today. In a world that seems bent on denying the sovereignty of God, we are called to live lives that point to Him. In our surrender, we walk with God in each moment. He gives us an opportunity to see Him every day. In our worship and prayer, we meet with God. The gift of family and the church are reminders of the community we share with God. The world we walk in, the newborn baby, the laughter, and love we experience are meant to show us God in the moment. He continues to walk with His people.
