Jeremiah 1:5 ” Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart…”

The Hebrew word for “formed” in this verse has a rather creative image of a potter with a lump of clay in front of him ready to create something beautiful. And as it is with us…the Lord saw us before we were created, before we were an unformed body… before we were even a little lump of cells… He knew us. The Lord not only knew us, but as Psalm 139:16 says,” All the days ordained for me were written in Your Book before one of them came to be.” We all are that lump of clay in front of the Master Potter, but He has in mind exactly what He’s going to be making…something unique, exquisite, and His.
