Calling for good

예레미야(Jer) 1장

7. 여호와께서 내게 이르시되 너는 아이라 말하지 말고 내가 너를 누구에게 보내든지 너는 가며 내가 네게 무엇을 명령하든지 너는 말할지니라

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. 너는 그들 때문에 두려워하지 말라 내가 너와 함께 하여 너를 구원하리라 나 여호와의 말이니라 하시고

8. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD.


9. 여호와께서 그의 손을 내밀어 내 입에 대시며 여호와께서 내게 이르시되 보라 내가 내 말을 네 입에 두었노라

9. Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth.



What a wonderful calling for Jeremiah and this event seems to be applied to my life and most of us as well. The problem is that we never hear like that and we rarely experience this kind of calling in persons throughout our lives.


However, the fact is that God knew me before I was born and set me apart to appoint me as His child for His sake. The attitude I should have is saying, "Here I am, so speak to me and I will listen and do whatever You want me to do." I am sure that He would open the way of accomplishing His will, although I am not sure about my ability to do whatever it is.


He has poured some kinds of desires and passions into my heart, through which I feel like He is making His children do His good will.


Therefore, living as His Child has been very interesting and challenging, Accordingly, it is fun and meaningful.
