When We Are Helpless

Today's Verse is Jeremiah 38:4
Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.

There will be times when some of us will be put in a place where we are helpless. Jeremiah found himself in such a place. Because He spoke God's word when many did not want to hear it. He was cast into the pit (dungeon). There was nothing He could do to remove Himself from His situation, but there was someone already working in his favour. There was someone already speaking in the ear of the King for him and while the text does not say how long he was in the miry dungeon. It gives the impression that it was not long, at most days if not hours. Therefore, rejoice! For your God whom you serve has not forgotten you, and at the appointed time will bring you out to serve Him once more, for His Glory. Amen.

To God Be The Glory
