Jer 1:4-5 | MHM | STEP | Jeremiah's Call to the Prophetic Office. This part tells how Jeremiah was chosen by God to be a prophet from a very young age. God had a special plan for him even before he was born. Jeremiah felt unworthy and too young for this big responsibility, but God promised to help him, give him the right words, and protect him. God’s call for Jeremiah is a reminder that God can use anyone He chooses, and He gives strength for the work He assigns. v. 4-5 : God revealed to Jeremiah that his calling as a prophet was planned before his birth. The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 1:4-5 ). God chose Jeremiah not only for Israel, but to speak to many nations. This shows that God’s plans are made before we are even born, and He prepares His servants for special tasks (Galatians 1:15; Romans 9:21 ).
