Jeremiah was having a bad moment; he had been struck and put in stocks, he was being mocked and ridiculed, and it seemed that everything he talked about or prophesied was slow in coming. The people around him wanted him to give up so they could overpower him; even his friends were watching for his failure. All the warnings he gave only got him insults and contempt. He wanted to give up, but he couldn't. Besides having the truth burn inside him, he also knew that God was with him as a mighty awesome one, therefore those that insulted and sought to silence him would not prevail, they would stumble and fall, they would be put to shame and they would not succeed. If you are a child of God, there will always be an attempt to silence you. The enemy has so many tactics to use against you, but remember the words of Jeremiah and be confident.
