Isaiah 49:1-4 (NLT) 1 Listen to me, all you in distant lands! Pay attention, you who are far away! The LORD called me before my birth; from within the womb he called me by name. 2 He made my words of judgment as sharp as a sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. I am like a sharp arrow in his quiver. 3 He said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, and you will bring me glory." 4 I replied, "But my work seems so useless! I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose. Yet I leave it all in the LORD's hand; I will trust God for my reward."
So many times I feel that I am just spinning my wheels for God. But as long as I am doing what He asks of me I will get rewarded. God is working on us and when He is ready He pulls us out and uses us in our own unique way.
Psalms 139:15-17 (CSB) 15 My bones were not hidden from you when I was made in secret, when I was formed in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw me when I was formless; all my days were written in your book and planned before a single one of them began. 17 God, how precious your thoughts are to me; how vast their sum is!
Jeremiah 1:5 (CSB)
I chose you before I formed you in the womb; I set you apart before you were born. I appointed you a prophet to the nations.
Jeremiah 20:9 (CSB) I say, "I won't mention him or speak any longer in his name." But his message becomes a fire burning in my heart, shut up in my bones. I become tired of holding it in, and I cannot prevail.
Isaiah 55:8-11 (CSB) 8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways." This is the LORD's declaration. 9 "For as heaven is higher than earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 "For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return there without saturating the earth and making it germinate and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat, 11 "so my word that comes from my mouth will not return to me empty, but it will accomplish what I please and will prosper in what I send it to do."
