Pushing On for the Lord Despite Diversities

Jeremiah 19 & 20

Inspired thots

How discouraging Jeremiah must have felt with the people around him cursing and not hearing the Word of God through him. Yet he pushed on with his calling.

In modern day times, it may be equivalent to the pastor or any full time worker for the Lord where His words are falling on deaf ears. It is hard to be serving the Lord passionately today as it was in Jeremiah's days. However, one truth is noted in this situation.... Jeremiah's warnings from the Lord was not well received by Israel. The same with today, as Jesus mentioned, a prophet is not welcomed in his hometown. "Familiarity breeds contempt".
