“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”
Jeremiah 1:5 (NLT)
Johnny was a smart seven-year-old boy. One day, Johnny went to mum and said, "Mum, I am just curious about how we really got here, because I have been learning a lot of things in school about the origin of man”.
Mum, how did we get here? Mum said, we started as apes and apes evolved and then became human beings further down the line. That's how we got here.
Two hours later, Johnny went to daddy and said, "Daddy, how did we human beings really get here?" Daddy said, "Well, you know what we've read in the Bible, God created Adam and Eve, and then they had babies, and then they had babies, and they had babies. Further down the line, that's how you and I got here.
Johnny said, "That is so funny though, because mummy told me about Evolution Theory and taught me that we came from apes." The dad being smarter, said, "Mummy wasn't really wrong, mummy was just talking to you about her side of the family.
Jokes aside, Scientists tell us that at the outset of conception, the male releases c.80 million cells (seeds). These cells race towards the destination of the egg. Out of the 80 million contenders, only one will make it into the egg (all things being equal). Consider the statistical odds for that one seed to reach the target; it is one in 80 million. Have you ever heard the saying that “you are one in a million”? That is incorrect. You are one in 80 million. You are here because you won that race; you beat the odds to be one in 80 million. However, it was not because you were more intelligent or stronger or had a better advantage – it is simply because God ordained it and made it happen.
If your arrival in this world was not your own idea or a coincidence, that means, none of the events that happen to you are coincidental. The Creator sent you here; He is still in charge of your life and has great plans for you (Jeremiah 29:11). Also, God tells Jeremiah, “I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb”. Friend, be assured that God knew you before you were conceived, and He has authorised your life to continue up till today. He is the guiding force of our lives, ensuring every event, both ‘good’ and ‘bad’ is according to His will. Therefore, get busy in discovering the purpose why he created you and get busy doing it.
“Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you: A prophet to the nations— that’s what I had in mind for you.”
Jeremiah 1:5 (MSG)
