Jer 1:5
"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."
Proof that God knew us even before we were conceived. Since He is omniscient, He can do that!
Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth.
What an image that is! The Lord reaches out to “touch” us. He did that through Jesus!
Jer 2:2
"Go and proclaim in the hearing of
"My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
How often do we try to do things on our own – at great cost and effort? Our way is substandard at best. God gives freely and His way is so much better.
Your wickedness will punish you; your backsliding will rebuke you. Consider then and realize how evil and bitter it is for you when you forsake the LORD your God and have no awe of me," declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty.
God is Holy. We should not worship Him casually!
Ps 29:2
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,
How should it look to worship Him in splendor and with reverence and awe?
