Today in The Word on Jeremiahs Unpopular Ministry in Jeremiah 20...When Jeremiah tried to walk away from his prophetic vocation, he found he could not. The Holy Spirit compelled him to speak (v. 9). In his commentary, Philip Graham Ryken notes that Jeremiah wasn’t talking about the pleasure he gets from speaking on God’s behalf. “He was not eager to preach but reluctant,” Ryken explains, “for he knew that judgment would pour out as soon as he opened his mouth.” No wonder Jeremiah was reluctant to speak. Its more important to be obedient to God than to be popular with people.
