A Word

But the LORD told me: “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ For to everyone I send you, you must go, and all that I command you, you must speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD.

What it means

God answers Jeremiah’s fear with a specific commission and the promise of His presence.

Jeremiah has just objected to his call because he is young. God’s answer does not deny his youth; it gives him a task and a promise.
