Jeremiah self-identified as young and not quite up to the challenge of being God’s prophet. Eugene Peterson says in Run with the Horses there is an enormous gap in what we think we can do vis-a-vis what God has in mind for us to do. The challenge is to bring those two things together, for in the way Jeremiah is called, we are called, too. God has something for every one of his children to do. God allows no excuses, and God even supplies the strength. (see Chapter 4, pg. 51) Sunday’s lesson is about building our courage. It is very encouraging!
