Jeremiah was a man among men. There was no profession tougher and no message harder to give than that of a prophet. During Judah's last forty years of nationhood, Jeremiah faced many mountains of difficulty and recorded his own pilgrimage of faith in his book. And although each believer's experience is unique, we can find encouragement in how the prophet confronted the challenges that faced him as he traveled across the Judean landscape from early youth to old age. The Lord did not remove the mountains of difficulty that faced the young man as he pleaded with Judah to return to obedience to God. He only promised to make Jeremiah like an iron pillar and a bronze wall. The sturdy prophet never wavered publicly in his proclamation of God's word. And the God of Jeremiah promises to give you the strength you need to stand against the challenges in your life. Faith Amid Apostasy, by Frank Holbrook, discusses the themes from the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations. This study in spiritual fidelity and perseverance will enrich your own experience.
