Passage Read: Jeremiah 17-20
Meditation Verses: 18:19-21
Thought
Even Jeremiah can be pushed too far. He stood up on behalf of his people and pleaded for their rescue, their deliverance, but they plotted against him and planned to kill him. So he responded by asking the Lord to reject them and destroy them. His patience and compassion came to an end. Even as the Lord's compassion on that generation also came to an end.
Application
I haven't been hated or opposed at all like Jeremiah, so I don't have cause to come to this point. Though there may be individuals who need to be prayed against, this generation still needs prayer for their repentance. It's not over yet, but a coming generation will provoke the Lord so badly that there will be no remedy for them, no repentance.
