Predestined for Greatness

Jeremiah means “whom The LORD has appointed”.

Purpose = the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.

Before Jeremiah had grown to full stature and carried out great things, He had been chosen by YHWH, The LORD. It was nothing HE had done but he was appointed to do it BEFORE he was even formed.

Monday Morning Scripture (Wk37/2021) – Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 1 (KJV)

Saturday Morning Scripture (Wk36/2021) – Psalm 8

The Lord’s Glory and Man’s Dignity.

Psalm of David

1 O Lord, our Lord, how majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth! You have displayed Your splendor above the heavens.

2 Out of the mouths of infants and nursing babes You have established strength because of Your adversaries, that You might silence the enemy and make the revengeful cease.

3 When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have established,

4 What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?

5 Yet You have made him a little lower than God, and You have crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,

7 All sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,

8 The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord, how majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8 (AMP)
