Faith in Mire

The story of Jeremiah in chapter 38 is a powerful testimony to the cost of speaking God’s truth in a world that does not want to hear it. Rejected, persecuted, and nearly left to die in a muddy cistern, Jeremiah’s experience mirrors the suffering of Christ and the trials of faithful believers in every age. Though his message was unpopular, it was true—and because it was true, it could not be silenced. This passage is not merely about a prophet in a pit; it’s about the triumph of God’s Word, the faithfulness of God’s servants, and the deliverance God provides even in the darkest places.
