“Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to
shame,
for I take refuge in you.”
Psalm 25:20
Training wheels, a learner’s permit, a job coach – all
of these examples and more are ways we are given to learn new skills.
We are “broken in” and introduced to these new skills
with the assistance of some ‘parameters’ that are later removed when we master
the skill.
As we read the first chapter of Jeremiah, it seems
that he is given no ‘breaking in’ period.
His very first word to the Nation of Judah is recorded
and would be received by most anyone as a harsh word of judgment.
Yet God told Jeremiah that he knew him in his mother’s
womb.
All of Jeremiah’s life had prepared him for the call
of God on him.
This, by no means, implies it was easy.
As a matter of fact God reassures Jeremiah that He
will rescue him.
Most people don’t need to be rescued from easy situations.
People in a ‘pinch’ or in dangerous situations need to
be rescued.
Do you find yourself in need of rescue today?
Do you feel like the training wheel season skipped
past you?
God will rescue you.
Step into the calling He has for you and move forward with
the
Understanding that God will be your rescuer!
