God designed the soul of Jeremiah and called him to a
prophetic ministry before he was even conceived. Jeremiah was around
20 years old when he responded to God’s call but felt he was too
young to be put into such an important role. Well, age is certainly
not a factor when it comes to serving God because Abraham was 75
years old when he was called, Joseph was only 30 years old when he
became the prime minister of Egypt, Moses was 80 years old when he
received the call to lead the Israelites from Egypt and David became
king of Israel at the age of 30. God will equip and empower anyone called into His
service. Furthermore, God promised that He would watch over Jeremiah
like a fortified city and protect him from kings, princes, priests
and even the common people. So did God fail in this detail when the
prophet was stoned to death by an angry mob? No, God promised
Jeremiah would be protected until his ministry time on earth came to
an end. The moment his physical body died, Jeremiah’s soul and
spirit were taken to Paradise and he has been in heaven for 1,985
years now. Age is certainly not a factor when it comes to serving
God and you are invincible until God says otherwise. |
