What Makes Someone a Hero

Feeling too young, weak, or afraid can make God’s calling seem impossible. Jeremiah objects that he cannot speak, but God says He knew him before birth, appointed him, put His words in his mouth, and would be with him. God does not promise comfort. Jeremiah suffered rejection, beatings and prison, fled to Egypt, and saw Jerusalem destroyed, yet kept speaking because the power belonged to God. Obedience begins where people are now, trusting God to provide what His calling requires. Bible Reference: Jeremiah 1:1–10 Preacher: KJ Tromp
