Jeremiah 15:15-16

¹⁵ You understand, O LORD;
remember me and care for me.
Avenge me on my persecutors.
You are long-suffering—do not take me away;
think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.

¹⁶ When your words came, I ate them;
they were my joy and my heart's delight,
for I bear your name,
O LORD God Almighty.

What Kept Jeremiah Going?

• If we follow Jeremiah's example, what should be our first line of defense when we encounter difficult people or circumstances?
• What do yo think that Jeremiah meant when he said, "When your words came, I ate them?"
• How can one make God's word their "Joy and heart's delight?"
• What should you do to prepare yourself to deliver God's word, in spite of how it is received?

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Hope to see you in Sunday School this week!
