Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this show me about God?

   • God says he knew Jeremiah before he was born and had already chosen him. What does that tell you about God?

2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

   • "I am only a child" is Jeremiah's excuse, and God does not accept it. What excuse do you use?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • What is one thing you will do this week instead of saying you are too young?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who needs to hear that God can use somebody their age?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
