In Jeremiah chapter 1, God commissions Jeremiah to a difficult and dangerous ministry. It is so difficult and so dangerous, in fact, that it almost seems impossible. And yet God makes it possible by promising to empower Jeremiah through a series of four assurances. Like Jeremiah, we too are commissioned by God to a difficult and dangerous ministry. And, like Jeremiah, the same empowering from God is available to us. All this means that these 4 assurances are precious to us. There is so much we can learn from Jeremiah 1!
