—Jeremiah 38:7-13; 39:15-18
by: Michaella Osborn.
Often the Old Testament prophets faced harsh treatment and consequences for what the Lord asked them to speak. In this case, Jeremiah was thrown into a cistern for speaking what the Lord had told him because it was not what the king wanted to hear. Is that something you would be willing to endure for God’s Word? How do you think a believer who lives in a part of the world with lots of persecution would respond to this passage? How is your response similar or different to what you imagine theirs would be?
