When the Lord summoned Jeremiah, He revealed to him that He had placed him in charge of kingdoms and nations, and that his ministry would be divided into stages. He'd go after what he wanted, take it down, smash it, and throw it down. For far too long, many Christians have been pulling down and rooting out. Now, just as the Lord commanded Jeremiah to build and plant, it's time for us to do the same.
It can be more difficult to build for the future and sow for growth than it is to pull down and root out.
Jeremiah's mind and emotions could not comprehend the extent of God's grace as God extended the summons. He even tried to explain to God why he wouldn't be able to perform what he was being asked to do. We have a habit of doing the same thing over and over again.
When God urges us to move forward into a new realm that we are unfamiliar with, we try to persuade Him that He has no idea what He is doing. We explain to Him why we shouldn't move when He tells us it's time to leave our comfort zone.
God is merciful in that He does not always listen to us when we disagree with His plans. "Don't tell Me you're too young, not mature enough to do what I'm asking you to do," He informed Jeremiah in so many words (see 1:7). By faith, we accept God's invitation.
