YOU WERE BORN FOR A REASON: Devotion for Thursday March 10, 2016

Text: Jeremiah 1:4 – 10     Memory verse: v 5

Our bible reading today, gives us insight into the truth that everyone of us was born for a reason. I have heard people complain bitterly that there is no reason living any more. I want us to understand that we were not born to fulfil numbers. You were not born into that family just because your parents needed a child. Rather God planned your birth because you have a role to play in your family, the church and your generation. There is a gap you will fill. The problem is ability to understand what role God has appointed you for. In 1:5, God told Jeremiah that before his birth, He ordained him a priest to nations. The reason for his birth was to become a prophet of God. When the family, church or generation need men to serve at different capacities, God raises men for those positions.

Beloved, God knew you, as he knew Jeremiah, long before you were born or even conceived. He thought about you and planned for you in various ways. When you feel discouraged or inadequate, remember that God has always thought of you as valuable and that He has a purpose in mind for you. Remember our devotion for Monday – For Constant Reminder. Do not give up now. You still have a future because there is a reason why God is still keeping you alive. That reason for your creation will be perfected and your generation will hear of you in Jesus name.

Food for Thought: God has created you for a purpose; to love, obey and serve Him and humanity. How are you fulfilling these purposes?
