Jeremiah 1:5-10 & 1 Timothy 4:12-16

Jeremiah 1:5-10

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations"

Then said I: "Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth"

But the Lord said to me: "Do not say, 'I am a youth,' for you shall go to all to whom i send you, And whatever i command you, you shall speak.

Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you," says the Lord

Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and Lord said to me: "Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.

See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant."


1 Timothy 4:12-16

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.

Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
