—Jeremiah 37:17-21
by: Michaella Osborn.
In this passage, Jeremiah was given a second chance to change his story and tell the king what he wanted to hear, but once again delivered his unpopular message. Have you ever been in a situation where you had to say something unpopular to a powerful person? Can you imagine what it would be like to have to tell that person the same thing multiple times? Jeremiah was certainly courageous to tell the king time and again that Jerusalem would be destroyed. From where do you think Jeremiah got his courage? Would he have been as persistent and honest if he had not heard from the Lord?
