Wonderfully made.” in the scripture, god told
00:05:43.666 --> 00:05:45.334
In the scripture, god told jeremiah that he was going
00:05:45.401 --> 00:05:46.669
Jeremiah that he was going to become a prophet, that
00:05:46.736 --> 00:05:48.404
To become a prophet, that he would speak to nations;
00:05:48.471 --> 00:05:50.239
He would speak to nations; that he would do something
00:05:50.306 --> 00:05:51.207
That he would do something great with his life.
00:05:51.274 --> 00:05:53.075
Great with his life. but jeremiah was very young.
00:05:53.142 --> 00:05:55.211
But jeremiah was very young. he didn't have the
00:05:55.278 --> 00:05:55.845
He didn't have the training, the experience.
00:05:55.912 --> 00:05:57.947
Training, the experience. no one in his family had
00:05:58.014 --> 00:05:59.248
No one in his family had done anything significant.
00:05:59.315 --> 00:06:01.284
Done anything significant. all these doubts and
00:06:01.350 --> 00:06:02.685
All these doubts and insecurities started to
00:06:02.752 --> 00:06:04.353
Insecurities started to fill his mind.
00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:05.922
Fill his mind. he said, “god, i can't
00:06:05.988 --> 00:06:07.156
He said, “god, i can't speak to nations.
00:06:07.223 --> 00:06:08.324
Speak to nations. i'm too young.
00:06:08.391 --> 00:06:09.659
I'm too young. i wouldn't know what to say.

You're too young.” he didn't say, “don't think

Didn't say, “don't think you're too young, don't

Out. don't say negative things
00:06:24.707 --> 00:06:26.242
Don't say negative things about yourself, jeremiah.”
00:06:26.309 --> 00:06:27.710
About yourself, jeremiah.” he was giving us this

Tall enough, i'm not attractive enough, i don't
00:06:42.992 --> 00:06:44.026
Attractive enough, i don't have the experience.” if he
00:06:44.093 --> 00:06:45.895
Have the experience.” if he would have been negative
00:06:45.962 --> 00:06:46.829
Would have been negative toward himself, he would
00:06:46.896 --> 00:06:48.431
Toward himself, he would have missed his destiny.

This is what david did. he looked at goliath, this
00:11:06.989 --> 00:11:08.724
He looked at goliath, this giant twice his size, and
00:11:08.791 --> 00:11:10.893

The same giants, same opposition, but they had a
00:17:13.455 --> 00:17:15.124
Opposition, but they had a different report. they

Two reports, one of victory, one of defeat.

Victory, one of defeat. what's interesting is the
00:17:30.339 --> 00:17:31.473
