The word of the Lord came to me, saying, ⁵ “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations” (Jer. 1:4-5 NIV).

As many of us know, God planned our lives before we were born. How can we tell a person wants the unique plan God has for them? Actions speak louder than words. By a person’s actions, they are telling God whether they want the plan He has for them or not.  For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. ¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful; I know that full well. ¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. ¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be” (Psalm 139:13-16 NIV).

We have been fearfully and wonderfully made. That means, not everybody can do what you are doing, and neither can you do what everyone else is doing. You cannot develop what God didn’t create you to do. You can only develop what God fashioned you in your mother’s womb to do.  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10). Before we were saved, God prepared good works for us to do, and that’s the future God has for us. So seek God’s will for your life and walk in it.
