Knowing God - The Lord Positions Us For Purposes

Jer 1:10

See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down,and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

The Lord Positions For Purposes

The Lord is speaking to Jeremiah about His purposes for Jeremiah’s life.  The Lord begins by pointing out that the Lord has set Jeremiah in a position of influence.  Jeremiah did not seek this or put himself there.  The Lord did.  The Lord set him over all these nations and kingdoms.  He set him there for reasons.  These reasons are given to Jeremiah after the Lord declares his position.  One of the best ways we can discover what the Lord wants to do through us is to realize where He has put us.  He generally places us in a position in order to carry out His purposes.  What positions do you find yourself in today?  Perhaps you could take some time today and jot these down.  This might help you better discover the details of your job description at this point in your life.  The Lord is faithful to put us in the places in which He has works for us to do.
