I Knew All About You

David Patrick
Jeremiah 1:5 (Message translation): Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day I had plans for you...

I'm not sure that I know anybody that doesn't want to feel (better yet, KNOW) that they have a purpose in this life. Although this verse was spoken directly to Jeremiah from God, it makes me aware that before any of us took our first breath that God had a plan for our lives. There is something that we have to do.

In Jeremiah's case he realized that he had giftings to speak, so God had pre-wired his assignment as "prophet to the nations."

What are you "pre-wired" to do? Have you ever given it any thought? Are you artisitc? Do you have a passion for numbers? What is that thing that you can do that is hard for everyone else but comes easy for you. That probably has something to do with the "plans" God had for you before you were even shaped in the womb.

So do 3 things today:

1. Think about the fact that God had plans for you BEFORE you were even shaped in your mother's womb and let THAT blow your mind! Consider that you are NOT a mistake. You may have been a surprise to your parents but not to God.

2. Think about the different giftings that you have.

3. You can only find the plans for your life by finding God and asking Him. Do that today.
