Confused On Career Choice?
Sunday, August 17, 2025Key Verse
“O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps” (Jeremiah 10:23).
Text — Jeremiah 10:22-24
Message
Jeremiah was a Hebrew prophet, reformer, and author of a biblical book that bears his name. He was closely involved in the political and religious events of a crucial era in the history of Judah. His spiritual leadership helped his fellow countrymen survive disasters that included the capture of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 BC and the exile of many Judeans to Babylon. His prophetic career began when he answered the call of God as a youth. God told him, “Before 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” (Jeremiah 1:5). God chose a career for him.
Are you confused about the future, unsure what career path to take? You are not alone. Many youths have great difficulties settling the all-important question of career choice. But, you need not be perplexed. Learn a lesson or two from Jeremiah. Trust the Lord to guide you in your choice and to direct your steps. God has a plan for you.
