Friday – Prophets
Reading – Jeremiah 37-39
Highlight Verse:
“Jeremiah was put into a dungeon cell, where he remain for many days.”
Jeremiah 37:16 NLT
Okay! Not exactly a verse that encourages someone to stand for the truth of the Gospel!
That didn’t stop Jeremiah.
He kept telling the truth.
It landed him in jail.
We still have freedom of speech here in the United States. Many are persecuted daily for following Jesus in other parts of the globe.
Even here, some would ban the message of Jesus as unfair.
We can only persevere in the midst of persecution and stand by our message. In the end it will prove true.
Have you ever been the object of persecution?
How have you reacted?
