Jeremiah 37, 38

Jeremiah’s suffering must have been severe. He was cast into both a dungeon and a mud-filled cistern for declaring God’s message to the rebellious king and the officials of Jerusalem. He was finally lifted out because of the merciful concern of some reasonable citizens. He paid a price for holding fast to God’s message, albeit a harsh one.

There is often a price to pay for digging in to obey God. The day may come in our nation whereby Christians are more severely persecuted for their faith. Already, patriots are discriminated against by power-hungry political zombies. (They are dead to reason and common sense) We must hold fast to God’s Word. We should just be glad God doesn’t require us to be as bold as Jeremiah (!?!?)
