Jeremiah 1:5
You Were Planned
5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
Acts 17:24-28
God Wants Us to Seek Him
24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
I have thought for awhile that Prophet Jeremiah's words about God knowing us before we are born, in someway goes very much with the words that St. Paul told the Athenians, while he was in Athens, Greece...
The Prophet Jeremiah and St. Paul writes these words, that were inspired by our Master Planner...If you believe God and in God, then we are not here by some random chemical event...We are here by God...God actually knew us before we were in our mother's womb...He has set each of us apart as unique individuals...He has deliberately put us on earth so that we should inhabit the earth...He has marked out each of our time on earth, and where we should live...He has done this so that we would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him, and find Him...Because He is not far from any one of us...For in God, we live, we move, and love and have our being...We are all children of God...
