Impending doom
Treacherous people
Open hostility, especially from the religious community
Persistent unbelief
Life threats
War
Imprisonment
Captivity
How would you like to be Jeremiah and face all of this and more? Yet through all this, Jeremiah was a man of faith. He never stopped believing God. Yes, he was depressed. Yes, he despaired of life. But he persisted in his faith.And God never left him. And today he is in paradise.
And so it must be with us. God wants us to trust his word and his character. And he has promised to never leave us. Never to forsake us. And someday we too will be in paradise.
