Jeremiah was the son of a priest in Israel so he was quite used to

hearing about God. But one day God actually spoke to Jeremiah and
asked him to become His spokesman. He would pass on God’s
messages to everyone. What God said to Jeremiah helps us understand
a bit more about God himself and how much he knows about us
 God told Jeremiah,
‘Before I formed you
in your mother’s
womb, I knew you.’
God said, ‘Before you were born I chose you to be
a prophet to the nations.’
Jeremiah told the Lord, ‘But I am too
young to speak for you. I am no good
at speaking in public.’
But the Lord said, ‘Don’t, say that you are too
young. You must go to everyone I send you
and say whatever I command you. Don’t be
afraid of them, for I am with you and will
rescue you.’
Then the Lord reached out His hand and touched
Jeremiah’s mouth. ‘I have put my words in your
mouth,’ God explained.
‘I am going to make you my spokesman. You will tell
kings, leaders and the people that I am going to
uproot, tear down and overthrow nations that disobey
me. You will also say that God will build up and plant
those who obey Him.
