Jeremiah 1:17-19 | Standing in Difficulty

In this video we talk about Jeremiah's steadfastness in difficulty as he is given a difficult message to Israel. In particular, we look at this section of text of Jeremiah Chapter 1:

17 “Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them. 18 Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land. 19 They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord."

In this video dive into the above phrase, "Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land" as God speaks to Jeremiah and contrast Jeremiah's security with that that of Israel as they are about to be invaded by Babylon. Jeremiah, as a contrast to the faithless deeds of Israel, finds his place and security in the Lord.
