“Now the word of the Lord came to me saying, ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.’ Then I said, ‘Alas, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak because I am a youth.’ But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not say, “I am a youth,” because everywhere I send you, you shall go, and all that I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you.’ declares the Lord. Then the Lord stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me, ‘Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. SEE, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”
Jeremiah 1:4-10
Occasionally the Lord will put a specific scripture on my heart for weeks at a time. Usually it happens that I’m not certain of the significance of the scripture at that time in my life, but God is preparing me for something down the road. This passage in Jeremiah has been on my heart for a few weeks now. I’m anxious to see how He is going to use this one! :D

How sweet of the Lord to giving you a sort of "warning". :) And even sweeter that you recognize it! Can't wait to see what He has in store for you!!
