Never Forget How God SHAPED You for Ministry

If you’ve ever doubted your calling to ministry, consider this: God has been molding and shaping you for ministry since before you were born!

“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit them together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! It is amazing to think about. Your workmanship is marvelous–and how well I know it. You were there while I was being formed in utter seclusion! You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe.” (Ps. 139:13-16 TLB)

This passage indicates that –

1. God shaped you for a purpose,

3. You are wonderfully complex.
