Impressed by Jeremiah

Assuming Jeremiah wrote Lamentations, which is the conventional wisdom (3:53-54 matches his experience, for example), I am especially impressed by his faith. Read first 3:1-21 where he speaks of both his own perspective and that of the community in which he is a part. Jeremiah did not have an easy life. Very few people believed his words. Many thought he was a liar or traitor. He was abused. This was his every hour of every day. Yet he found his strength in the Lord to carry out his calling (see 3:22-33). God, give us also that kind of dedication to your cause.
