\nJeremiah 1:10<\/a>
\n\u2018See, today<\/strong> I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.\u2019\n<\/div>\n

 
\nThis verse marks the day God officially appoints Jeremiah as \u2018prophet to the nations\u2019, in accordance with his holy plans for Jeremiah\u2019s life. God will give him the words and authority to reshape the world.<\/p>\n

Reflection
\nWhat is the significance of this day in the light of God\u2019s holy plans for your life?<\/p>\n

QUOTE FOR TODAY<\/strong>
\nDrawing on historical Christian affirmations of hope, the most succinct line from early Christian communities is the one which ends the Nicene Creed: “We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.”<\/span>
