Jeremiah 1 · Grade 3

I Am with You

Name Date

Read the Story

Jeremiah was the son of Hilkiah. Hilkiah was a priest in Anathoth. God's word came to Jeremiah when Josiah was king of Judah.

God told Jeremiah that he knew him before he was formed in the womb. God had set him apart to be a prophet to the nations. Jeremiah answered that he did not know how to speak, for he was a child. God told him not to say that. He must go where God sent him.

Then God touched Jeremiah's mouth and put his words in it. God showed him an almond branch. God said that he watches over his word to do it. God promised to be with Jeremiah and rescue him.
