- Jeremiah was told he couldn't marry or have children (Jeremiah 16:2), and he preached the truth with dogged determination for 40 years.
- The people desired Jeremiah's death and discarded God's message.
- Jeremiah felt depressed, discouraged, and deserted, and he really started to doubt God's plan for him.
- Although Jeremiah has much to say about death and destruction, we see that God is the deliverer of the good news.
- Jeremiah did not just weep, but he was dedicated, and it was God who helped him to go the distance.
I do not understand everything we have to go through, but I know God is good and He is there for us. Sometimes I get furious about the injustice in the world, heartbroken about the personal challenges family and friends are facing, and pessimistic about dilemmas I must help resolve. At times I complain and want to quit, but I know our Father's grace is sufficient. I must look to the cross and remember that Sunday is coming. I look forward to that day when you, me, and Jeremiah can talk about the greatness of God.
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. Jeremiah 33:3
