I started reading the book of Jeremiah today because, despite the fact he is known as the "crying prophet," I love the message of the book. The fact that God chose Jeremiah, and then that Jeremiah followed Him sacrificially for over 40 years speaks so much to me. Jeremiah's faith and obedience and "decisiveness" challenges me to live more boldly for Christ.
As I started to read Be Decisive by Warren Wiersbe, a study of Jeremiah, I noticed this line and loved it: "God doesn't save us, call us, or use us in His service because we're deserving, but because in His wisdom and grace He chooses to do so." This was true of Jeremiah and it is true of us too.
