Today’s Reading:
Jeremiah 1:4–10 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)

“Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you.”
(Jeremiah 1:7)

This week’s EFKS theme:
Seasons of Life — Nurture

A Thought for Today

God’s call does not wait until we feel completely ready.

What This Means for Us Today

Jeremiah immediately saw his limitations.

God saw something more.

When God calls us, our confidence does not have to come from having every skill or answer. We can begin simply by trusting that the One who calls us will also be with us.

Carry This With You

You do not have to feel ready to say yes to God.

A Simple Prayer

Lord, give me courage to follow where You lead.
Help me trust You more than my limitations.

Today’s Invitation

Notice where you have been telling yourself, “I can’t.”

Ask instead, “God, what are You asking of me?”
