_______________________________________________________________Psalm 56:3-4 (NIV)

The Call of Jeremiah

4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

5 “Before I formed you in the womb I

knew[a] you,

before you were born I set you apart;

I appointed you as a prophet to the

nations.”

6 “Alas, Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I do not

know how to speak; I am too young.”

7 But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am

too young.’ You must go to everyone I send

you to and say whatever I command

you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am

with you and will rescue you,” declares

the LORD.

John 14:27 (NIV)

27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give

you. I do not give to you as the world gives.

you should go;

I will counsel you with my loving eye

on you.

Luke 21:15 (NIV)

15 For I will give you words and wisdom that

none of your adversaries will be able to

resist or contradict.

John 10:27-29 (NIV)

27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know

them, and they follow me. 28 I give them

eternal life, and they shall never perish; no

one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My

Father, who has given them to me, is

greater than all[a]; no one can snatch them

out of my Father’s hand.

Hebrews 10:9-20 (NIV)

A Call to Persevere in Faith

19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we

have confidence to enter the Most Holy

Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and

living way opened for us through the

curtain, that is, his body,

Hebrews 10:23 (NIV)

23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we

profess, for he who promised is faithful.

Subject of Consideration:

“If I were your enemy, I’d magnify your fears, making them appear insurmountable,

intimidating you with enough worries until avoiding them becomes your driving motivation. I

would use anxiety to cripple you, to paralyze you, leaving you indecisive, clinging to safety and

sameness, always on the defense because of what might happen. When you hear the word

faith, all I’d want you to hears is “unnecessary risk.”” –Page 93
