An Upward Look
A Daily Devotional Observation from God's Word
August 18
SCRIPTURE VERSE FOR TODAYBefore I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. (Jeremiah 1:5)
The Lord has known us longer than our parents have. What a thought! Our creator loves us and is intently involved in every facet of our lives. God explained to Jeremiah that He had been sanctified and ordained even before he was born. When I think of the millions of children who have been murdered in their mother’s womb, I wonder how many great world leaders have died because of abortion. Perhaps the one that would have discovered the cure for cancer had his life cut short because some mother wanted to end the embarrassment or inconvenience of a pregnancy. Before you were even born God designed a wonderful plan for your life. Seek His plan today. ~
