Old Testament Bible Verse: Jeremiah 29:11-13
New Testament Bible Verse: 1 Timothy 4:8-16
Summary
God teaches us via the Prophet Jeremiah (1:5 & 29:11-13) and King David (Psalm 139 , specifically verse 14) that He knew us before we were formed in the womb and that we were wonderfully made according to His plans and purpose. The second part of the story introduces young Timothy under the guidance of the Apostle Paul 1 Timothy 4:8-16 and 2 Timothy 2:15). Here a young disciple of Jesus Christ is told not to let anyone look down on him because he is young, but to set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. That he (Timothy) was not too young to Worship God, Witness for God, not Work for God. The 3rd and final part of the conversation ends with a challenge to use what God has given individuals to His glory, honor and praise via a poem written by Edgar A. Guest entitled "Equipment" read by George Washington Carver in 1942.
Key Takeaway Thoughts
We were ALL created and wonderfully made by God and have great purpose according to His plan, but the individual must choose the path they will follow.
Age should not prevent an individual from Worshiping God, Witnessing for God, nor Working for God.
We are ALL properly equipped to do the will of God now.
