We all have excuses for why we aren't capable or willing to do what we probably know down deep in our hearts is our responsibility or obligation. It's true in the workplace, in family life, in school, and amid relationships with neighbors, spouses, and friends. The prophet Jeremiah wasn't immune to using an excuse here or there in order to fend off the call of God. And yet, God makes a powerful case for Jeremiah's prophetic role. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you," God says, "and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations." It's as if God wasn't going to let Jeremiah claim he had been mistaken for another would-be prophet. We use excuses, too, for saying "no" to God. We don't believe we're worthy or equipped for the task at hand, we don't feel it's our role to do what God is summoning us to do, or we feel that, inevitably, somebody else will do the job.
