When Jeremiah entered the dungeon and the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days, then Zedekiah the king sent and took him out. The king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is. Then he said, You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon! Jeremiah 37:16-17
Many of us would have lost our nerve after spending weeks in prison, but it doesn’t seem to have stifled Jeremiah’s courage. We can take heart from this. God is an ever present Help in trouble, and the Strength of those who put their trust in Him.
