Jeremiah
"They have wearied you"
Text: Jeremiah 12:5
THE WEARINESS FELT
The Lord knew exactly how Jeremiah was feeling. The stress and toil of ministry was getting to him. The young prophet was feeling weary!
“If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you,
Then how can you contend with horses?
And if in the land of peace,
In which you trusted, they wearied you,
Then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?
For even your brothers, the house of your father,
Even they have dealt treacherously with you;
Yes, they have called a multitude after you.
Do not believe them,
Even though they speak smooth words to you.”
Jeremiah 12:5-6
