Jeremiah

 

Jeremiah

Jeremiah was a priest called to be a prophet, a sensitive man called to confront Kings, false prophets, and hypocritical priests. He was a bold man before men but broken before God. He was known as the “weeping prophet.” He was faithful to the Lord and accomplished God’s will.

Jeremiah watched the nation of Judah decline and taken captive by the Babylonians and Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed.

God had much to say through this prophet and knew Jeremiah would face stiff opposition. “They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail.” Jeremiah 1:19.

Jeremiah was beaten and imprisoned. He was thrown into a cistern and sank into the muddy mire. He was forcibly taken to Egypt where he apparently died.

On days when we feel under pressure or full of anxiety and worry, the Lord invites us to simply call to Him just as He told Jeremiah. When we do, we are united to a God who knows no boundaries, no restrictions and no limitations. He Loves us dearly and wants what’s best for us.
