Today’s Reading:
Jeremiah 38:1–13 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)

“So they took Jeremiah and put him into the cistern of Malkijah, the king’s son.”
(Jeremiah 38:6)

This week’s EFKS theme:
Character of Prophets — Who’d Be a Prophet?

A Thought for Today

Doing what is faithful does not always make life easier.

What This Means for Us Today

Jeremiah's message was unpopular, and he suffered because he continued to speak it.

Faithfulness can sometimes carry a cost.
Yet even in the cistern, Jeremiah was not forgotten. God provided someone willing to speak up and help him.

Carry This With You

Difficulty does not mean God has forgotten you.

A Simple Prayer

Lord, give me courage to remain faithful.
Remind me that You are with me in difficult places.

Today’s Invitation

If doing the right thing feels difficult today, pause.
Ask God for courage to continue.
