Day 206 Reading: Jeremiah 38:1 - Jeremiah 41:18 Many people are fighting with discouragement daily more than any other time in history. The increase in depression and many other mental maladies that are plaguing the world. One cause of concern for many believers is that the promises of the Bible don't seem to be alive for them. For many, it appears that God is not there or concerned about their affairs. Reading the Book of Jeremiah I have asked myself what Jeremiah must have felt as he declared the word of God and yet saw no change. Jeremiah not only saw the people not listen to him, but he was sent to prison. Many believers today are like Jeremiah. Declaring the word and yet being mocked by the world. Many believers are struggling with their faith because they don't seem to see the reality of the promise of God. Jeremiah was mocked by the people he was sent to. Jeremiah was spat at, thrown into a dungeon sent to prison and even the king could do nothing about it....
Daily we need to rise, conquer and be all that we can be.
