Daily Bible Challenge: Day 765 Jeremiah Chapter 20

Jeremiah chapter 20. I want to give up!
Jeremiah continues to prophesy against Judah every time God tells him to speak. In this chapter, a priest hears of Jeremiah's words and instead of confirming his words as truth to Judah, he says that Jeremiah's words are false and has him beaten and then clamped in stocks through the day and night for all to see. He is insulted during this time.
While going through the beating and then clamped in the stocks, Jeremiah has a lot of time to think about all that has happened. He is frustrated with God and wonders why in the world he even shares God's truth when it results in humiliation, insults, beatings, ridicule, etc. He even complains how much he wants to quit sharing God's truth but when he does quit the truth burns within him. He can't keep quiet. An example of that is when the priest let him loose, instead of keeping his big mouth shut like maybe we would have, he speaks God's word to the priest saying a curse against him.
Am I willing to speak God's truth within a world that doesn't want to hear it? Am I willing to live God's truth within a world that doesn't want to live it? What consequences am I willing to endure because of the gospel? Am I willing to face insults? Beatings? Loss of body parts? Humiliation? Imprisonment? What will end up shutting me up? Nothing? Or will the insult or negative comment from a family member, friend, or coworker be enough to shut me up? What's my breaking point where I'll say to God enough is enough? Sadly, we all have a breaking point! But when that happens may we lean on the Lord for his strength and endurance so that we are able to work through the pain and rejection and once again live out our faith and speak God's truth in love. To say I love and care for someone but do nothing to point them to the truth doesn't sound like true love at all. God help me speak and live your truth always and when I hit my breaking point forgive me and then strengthen and empower me to keep enduring and keep living and speaking your truth in love.
