Today’s word comes from Jeremiah chapter 38,some people were annoyed by the word s Jeremiah was speaking and which were in favor of the Chaldeans and so they inquired from the king if they could throw him into the pit and the king allowed them . A eunuch by the name ebed-melech pleaded with the king and he was allowed to remove Jeremiah from the pit. The eunuch used some old rugged clothes tied them and asked Jeremiah to tie the clothes under his armpits and he pulled him up. later the king inquired secrectly from Jeremiah the word of the Lord upon him. Jeremiah said to him if you obey the word of the Lord you and your household would be saved but if you don’t destruction will befall on you. The king was more concerned that their discussion be kept a secret and the views of the people and not obeying the word of the Lord.
As Christians when we are in pit or the valley is our faith the same as when we are in the mountains? Which voice do we normally obey, when we are in pit the voice of the world or the Lord? Does the voice of world influence the decision we make as Christians? Can we keep our faith through all the trials and temptation?
Obeying the word of the Lord all the time the good times and in the bad times. allowing myself to enjoy the warmth,love and mercy when I am under his armpits. as a woman in labor the pain is unbearable but after she hold the baby the joy in her heart erases all the pain, though it was painful it was worth it. that is what we as Christians should say my journey of life is not easy but it is worth it when the Lord is with me.
