Promise Keeper: God can do ANYTHING through you: No Excuses

Jeremiah 1:4-10 | The Lord gave me this message: “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” “O Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!” The Lord replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!” Then the Lord reached out and touched my mouth and said, “Look, I have put my words in your mouth! Today I appoint you to stand up against nations and kingdoms. Some you must uproot and tear down, destroy and overthrow. Others you must build up and plant.”

• What excuse did Jeremiah give for why he couldn’t obey God's plan for him? 

• Have you ever felt you were too young or too old for God to use? When? Why? 

• What other excuses have you given as reasons you couldn’t obey God’s plan for you or be used by Him? 

• Thinking through God’s encouragement to Jeremiah (I knew you before you were born, formed you in the womb, and am I will be with you), how do the Timeless Truths from God apply to your excuses (or reasons you hesitate to be used by God)?
