“Seekest Thou Great Things? Seek Them Not”

Have you ever had one of those days when everything piles up at once—the bills are due, the car won’t start, someone at work is upset, and the phone won’t stop ringing? You think, I can’t take one more thing. That’s exactly where Baruch found himself. He groaned, “Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow.” He wasn’t suffering because he was doing wrong—he was weary because he was faithfully serving God, quietly recording Jeremiah’s prophecies, risking his life to put God’s Word on the scroll, and what did it get him? Sorrow, danger, weariness, unnoticed and unappreciated. Maybe you’ve been there too—wondering, Is it worth it to keep serving when nobody seems to care?
