Jeremiah 1:4-10

Jeremiah is a good reminder of the ease with which we can escape the most meaningful of expenditures of time and energy. Excuse: “I’m but a wee lad.”

G*D, here, is a good reminder of an important quality in a partner—accountability: “Don’t try to wriggle away, I’ve got your back.”

A second important partner quality is that of resourcing one another. In this instance Jeremiah has opportunity and G*D has resources to meet them. In other instances, these roles change. In real time, this is simply a background story for our own easy excuses and partnership responsibilities.

Blessings where’er ye go. You go not alone.

Choose your prophets carefully. Some are false.
