JEREMIAH’S CALL AND MESSAGE

Jeremiah 1:1—3:5

Kevin's Commentary

You are encouraged to go through steps or process scripture in these steps:

• Pray = in anticipation of what God wants you to discover. Lord, give me ears and a heart to be ready to hear and obey whenever You call to me.
• Read = with purpose look for what God is trying to communicate. You may want to read out of several translations and highlight keywords.
• Reflect = on the context and put yourself in the shoes of people at that time. Have you ever felt that God called you to deliver a hard message to friends, your church, or your community? If so, what did you do? How did you feel?
• God is ... What do we learn about God?
• We are ... What do we learn about people?
• Why did Jeremiah resist God’s plan for him? Do you ever feel that you, like Jeremiah, are resisting something God wants you to do? Why did or didn’t you?
• Jeremiah was sent to speak God’s message to Jerusalem. If God sent you to speak to your community or country, what would you say?
• Apply = information without application is fruitless. Decide on some practical steps you can take to fulfill what God wants you to do. Is God calling you to deliver a challenging message to anyone? If so, write down what you’ll say. Be sure to consult with a trusted friend or pastor before you say it.
• Pray = yielding to God to empower you to do what the word convicted you to do. Lord, keep guard over my mouth so that I say only those things which You want me to say.
