RE:flect"And Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken."
How weird would it be to be Jeremiah. All day long your mission, job, goal is to remind people that Jerusalem will be taken over by a foreign army, occupied, destroyed... and this is the Judgment of GOD! Ah. But everything can change in a life when the King listens to you, a prophet, and promises that you will not die. Or can it? Jeremiah is known for always complaining to God for his message and peoples reaction...wouldn't death have been a strange gift to finish his life?
RE:act
Jeremiah told the truth, and many others didn't like what he heard. They plotted to kill Jeremiah, yet God spared his life. I don't think that your friends will try to toss you off the roof of the school gym if you tell them the truth about their sin and God's forgiveness. However, they may possibly react to the "bad news" the same way these men did also. Will you trust your life to God. Will you wait to see him move? Deliver? And keep you "in the court of the guard" until he wishes to take you somewhere else.

Lord, give all of Valley's students the strength to do the right thing, to say the right thing, to be the right thing for their school, work, team, culture.
Lord, encourage them to live for you, in purity, and to speak the truth. You saved and protected Jeremiah. Give our students the confidence to know that their "court" is in school current. This will come to pass. But today, now, their "post" in your kingdom now... strengthen and encourage them.
Lord, thank you for power, truth, mighty, love and compassion for your children. You are a great Father.
"I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved;he who keeps you will not slumber."
Psalm 121:1-3
