*A thought*:
When Jeremiah was in need of help, he found it, not through his own people, but through Nebuzaradan, one of the oppressors of his people. It's a sad and sobering thought, that often God's people meet with more kindness from unbelievers than they do from their Children brothers and sisters. Ought not this to be a matter of great prayer and concern?
*Week #34 Memory Verse*:
Isaiah 40:31
"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like
eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint"
