Power to Attain Our Purpose

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” -Jeremiah 1:5

God knew us before we were born. He has prenatal perspective on the life He created to serve Him and to bless the world. The Father set us apart with the intent that we would fulfill a distinct purpose in His great plan. Later in this same chapter, the LORD says, “I have put My words in your mouth… I am ready to perform My word” (vv. 9, 12). God does not just call us to serve Him, He also fills us with His Spirit so that the outcome is guaranteed before we even start!

God has created us for Himself, and His plan transcends our lifetime. Revelation 20:6 promises that after Christ’s return, we “shall reign with Him a thousand years.” We are a precious treasure uniquely created to be an instrument of blessing in the Father’s service.

As you go throughout your day, rest in the knowledge that from before your conception, God’s love for you was assured, your purpose was established, and the power to attain the goal is promised.
