The Desert Shall Bloom
Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened:
and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
then shall the lame leap like the hart:
and the tongue of the dumb shall sing for joy.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - God’s call
4The Lord said to me, 5“I knew you before you were formed within your mother’s womb; before you were born I sanctified you and appointed you as my spokesman to the world.”
6“O Lord God,” I said, “I can’t do that! I’m far too young! I’m only a youth!”
7“Don’t say that,” he replied, “for you will go wherever I send you and speak whatever I tell you to. 8 And don’t be afraid of the people, for I, the Lord, will be with you and see you through.”
9Then he touched my mouth and said, “See, I have put my words in your mouth! 10Today your work begins, to warn the nations and the kingdoms of the world. In accord with my words spoken through your mouth I will tear down some and destroy them, and plant others, nurture them, and make them strong and great.”
. . . . .Jeremiah 1:4-10Intercession
