God Speaks through His word

Just the other day I was talking with Austin (my 10 year old) about how God has a purpose for his life. I was telling him that God had a purpose for him before he was even born, while he was in my belly. ...Austin reads his bible before going to sleep each night. The night after our conversation, he had my Bible (he usually just has his New Testament), and the next morning, I asked him to share what he had read the night before. I had no idea what he had read and had never asked him to do this before...the passage that he had found to read was this..and get this..he said I read to verse "5" ...God is truly Amazing..

Jeremiah 1
1The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

2To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.

3It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.

4Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

5Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
