Two men were stuck in the mud. Jeremiah was thrown into a well to die because his words were too offensive for sinners to bear. Zedekiah was trapped in his own fear and stubbornness. Both needed freedom, but only one would be set free. How many times will we be caught in the trap of our own sinfulness, always coming back to the same embarrassing behaviors?
LORD, set us free from the stubborn pride that keeps us from honoring you with our lives. Deliver us by your Holy Spirit.
Jeremiah 38
