1:5-9 No Accidents, No Excuses When God called Jeremiah, he left no room for doubt. He confirmed that Jeremiah was destined to be a prophet from his mother’s womb. Jeremiah’s youthful lack of experience, excuses, and fears could never disqualify him because God would put words in his mouth. Jeremiah believed God’s promise. We can also trust that God had an intentional and divine design for each of us before we were born (Ps 139:13-16).
