Jeremiah 38: 6
So they took Jeremiah and put him into the cistern of Malkijah, the king’s son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the cistern; it had no water in it,only mud, and Jeremiah sank down into the mud.
Jeremiah has been called to the king over and over. The king hopes that Jeremiah will change the prophecy he has made about the overthrowing of Jerusalem. It doesn't happen, so the king hands him over to his officials.
Poor Jeremiah. All he has ever done was to serve God faithfully. Now he's sitting in the mud and will surely die at the bottom of the cistern. He's saved, but his message never changed. I'm grateful for servants like Jeremiah who never waver in their faith.
Prayer: Make my faith stronger, Lord. Let me always tell Your truth, no matter the consequences. Be with me as I attempt to become a more faithful servant.
Amen
