Strength Under Pressure
They were angry with Jeremiah and had him beaten and imprisoned in the house of Jonathan the secretary, which they had made into a prison.—Jeremiah 37:15 (NIV)
The prophet Jeremiah was punished and imprisoned for sharing God’s message. Yet, he was faithful and obedient, following God’s instructions and completing his life’s mission. To those around him, he was most likely judged as a failure. Reflect on how man often measures success using different standards than God’s.
Almighty God, give me strength when I am under pressure so that I can faithfully serve You.
