Jeremiah 1-3, Psalm 122
Jeremiah 1:4-5 (NLT)
“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.’”
In Jeremiah 1:4–5, the Lord told Jeremiah that his calling to be a prophet began before he was born. One Bible commentary I read said that Father-God wanted Jeremiah to know that he existed in the mind and plan of the Lord before birth. The Lord also told Jeremiah that he was set apart from other people to be a prophet to the nations.
I love these verses from Jeremiah because they remind believers that the Lord has an intentional design for our lives. Father-God has knowledge of and a plan for each believer that existed before they were formed in their mother’s womb. These verses also tell me that the Lord has a deep and personal knowledge of believers and that He sets each person apart for a holy purpose.
If the Lord knew us before we were born, then we can have confidence in His plans and direction for our lives. Father-God has equipped us through our design for the tasks He has appointed for us. Once we know our calling in life, we can have faith that we have all we need to fulfill the Lord’s plan for our lives. We can stand firm in our calling, knowing the Lord is with us.
I think about these verses as I continue to explore the calling on my life. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I finally have the confidence to pursue that calling seriously. I am curious to see what will happen if I take the natural skills the Lord has given me and use them in a purposeful and professional way. I look forward to discovering what happens when I fully align my life with the plans the Lord has for me.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who created each of us for a holy purpose—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.

Day 126 Bible Readings - Isaiah 66:7-8 (NLT)
Isaiah 65-66, Psalm 121
Isaiah 66:7-8 (NLT)
“‘Before the birth pains even begin, Jerusalem gives birth to a son. Who has ever seen anything as strange as this? Who ever heard of such a thing? Has a nation ever been born in a single day? Has a country ever come forth in a mere moment? But by the time Jerusalem’s birth pains begin, her children will be born.”
In Isaiah 66:7–8, Isaiah speaks about a day when victory will come to Jerusalem. He tells us that the Lord is sovereign and capable of doing things that are supernatural and beyond human understanding. Isaiah prophesied about the nation of Israel being born in a single day.
Many Biblical scholars consider the rebirth of the nation of Israel as the fulfillment of verse 8. Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948, and many nations recognized it on that same day. As Isaiah prophesied hundreds of years earlier, Jerusalem and its nation were born in a single day.
These verses remind believers that the Lord can do things beyond human understanding. Just as Father-God can intervene in the life of a nation, He can also intervene in the lives of believers in unexpected and miraculous ways. A Bible commentary I read also noted that the imagery of birth Isaiah used offers believers hope for restoration and renewal. When we experience personal struggles, the Lord has a plan not only for our deliverance but also for new beginnings. These verses also remind us to trust in the Lord’s timing because His plans unfold at the right moment.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who can intervene in our lives in unexpected and miraculous ways—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus.

Day 125 Bible Readings - Isaiah 61:1-2 (NLT)
Isaiah 61-64, Psalm 125
Isaiah 61:1-2 (NLT)
“‘The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord’s favor has come,’”
In Isaiah 61:1–2, Isaiah tells us about the Messiah’s ministry. The Messiah will have the Spirit of the Lord upon Him to heal the damage that sin brings. He will bring good news to the poor, comfort the brokenhearted, and proclaim that the captives of sin will be released and freed. Isaiah tells us that He has been sent to proclaim that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.
These verses were important signs of the Messiah and were referenced in Matthew and Luke. In Gospel of Matthew 11, John the Baptist sent two of his disciples to ask Jesus, “Are you the Messiah we’ve been expecting?” Jesus referenced these verses in His reply: “Go back to John and tell him what you have heard and seen—the blind see, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor. God blesses those who do not fall away because of me.”
In Gospel of Luke 4, Jesus spoke in the synagogue in Nazareth and read these verses from Isaiah. He then declared, “The Scripture you’ve just heard has been fulfilled this very day!”
When I read about the ministry of Jesus Christ, He did exactly what Isaiah said the Messiah would do—and even more. These verses are another reminder that the Lord is sovereign and that He speaks through His prophets about His plans for the world. Isaiah wrote these words hundreds of years before the birth of Christ, yet Jesus fulfilled them through His life and ministry. These verses assure believers that Father-God is in control and that His promises to His people are trustworthy and reliable.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One whose promises and plans you can trust and rely on—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where you are.

Day 124 Bible Readings - Isaiah 58:8-9 (NLT)
Isaiah 58-60, Psalm 119:153-176
Isaiah 58:8-9 (NLT)
“‘Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind. Then when you call, the Lord will answer. ‘Yes, I am here,’ he will quickly reply. ‘Remove the heavy yoke of oppression. Stop pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors!’”
In Isaiah 58:8–9, Isaiah describes the blessings that come from living in sincere obedience to the Lord. Father-God promises salvation, healing, guidance, and protection for those who walk in righteousness. The Lord also says that when His people call on Him, He will answer them.
But these verses also show that true worship is more than outward religious activity. The Lord desires hearts that reflect His character. Father-God calls believers to remove unjust practices, lift burdens from others, and use their words to encourage rather than harm.
These verses remind me that obedience to the Lord affects every part of life—not only our relationship with Father-God, but also how we treat people. The Lord wants His people to live with compassion, integrity, and kindness. When we align ourselves with His ways, we experience His guidance and peace in our lives.
When I reflect on these verses, I also think about the difference that faith and trust in the Lord can make during difficult times. I have seen many people become overwhelmed by fear, worry, and uncertainty about life. But through my relationship with Father-God, I have experienced peace and guidance through the Holy Spirit, especially during challenges involving health, finances, and important decisions.
These verses remind me that Father-God does not leave His people to face life alone. He guides, protects, and strengthens those who seek Him and desire to walk in obedience to His ways.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who blesses, guides, and strengthens those who trust in Him—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus.
