Before We Were Formed In Our Mother’s Womb

Jeremiah 1:4-10 highlights a few interesting facts on how the LORD related to him. God said that He knew Jeremiah even before he was formed in his mother’s womb and had set him apart then. This means that our spirit was already in existence even before our human body was conceived in the womb. In Ephesians 1:4. Paul exerts that Christ chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be whole and blameless before Him. Thus I believe that there are already millions and millions of spirits/souls formed at the beginning and as human beings conceive in the natural, the spirit/soul will be made part of the physical body to have life, all in perfect order and sequence according to the exact time appointed by God, the same way God breathed life into the body He formed from dust when He created Adam.

The second point from Jeremiah 1:4-10 is that God promised to be with him and he need not be afraid of the people that God sends him to. The same way God promised Moses that He will be with him when Moses meets Pharoah to demand the release of the Jewish slaves, the same way God promised to be with Joshua as he led the Israelites into the Promised Land. Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid for I am with you, says the LORD. That is why Jeremiah was unbreakable although he suffered much, and so was Paul.

The third thing we will see in Jeremiah 1:4-10 is that when Jeremiah said that He was too young and would not know what to say, God touched his lips and put His words into Jeremiah’s mouth. This means that as God called Jeremiah to the purpose He had appointed him before he was even formed in his mother’s womb, He will equip Jeremiah as he responded to God.

I believe that each and everyone of us have an appointed purpose for God to let us to be born at the precise time and era. We were born in this century and not in the first or 15th century. We were born at the exact time and date as God had planned beforehand way back to the beginning of time, into the family and town and country that God had planned. As we grow up as humans and go through life and as God calls us to be His children, we must know that as we respond to God’s calling for our lives, He will be with us like He did with Jeremiah. God has a specific plan and purpose for each and every one of us, which plan and purpose He had formulated even before we were formed in our mother’s womb. As we respond like Jeremiah did, we will be unbreakable like Jeremiah and Paul. Unbreakable in our faith and resolve, because we will see and experience God being with us all the way. That I believe is the reason why many were willing to be martyred for the faith. The hope of eternal glory as well as Christ being present in their midst as they experience the actual tangible reality of God.

As we step out in faith to respond to Him, He will equip us and I believe He will do so whether it is ability, opportunity, platform, network or finance. God will be with us and will equip us since it is ultimately His purposes and plans that we are serving. It is ultimately His Kingdom of Grace that we are working so hard for. Why would He leave us to our devices if we are living within His good and perfect will?
