Jeremiah 36

(February 1, 2015)

                I am so impressed by how Jeremiah responds to what happens here.  I can imagine what it must have been like for Jeremiah to have had his work tossed on the fire by someone in power.  Discouragement, doubt about whether what he had dedicated his life to would make a different (something, considering his prophecies of the destruction of Jerusalem, must have been a constant struggle).  But Jeremiah never waivered.  The Lord told him to write, and he wrote.  When it was destroyed, and the Lord told him to write again, he wrote again.  This is certainly something worth emulating in our lives.
