Jeremiah 37-39

It took me about 10 minutes to read this passage. Jeremiah spoke God's word faithfully. In return he was beaten, accused of treason, left to starve to death, and received no support from the weak king Zedekiah. This passage recounts a few times that Jeremiah was given an audience with the king, but every time he left the troneroom he was in no better situation. But God did not abandon Jeremiah. Before he could die of thirst in the muddy cistern he was rescued and fed. When the city was finally captured the king of Babylon singled him out by name for protection and provision. God will always provide what his people need. Just in time that it is needed.
