I will make your enemies plead with you in times of disaster and times of distress

 Jeremiah 15:1-21

Then the Lord said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my heart would not go out to this people. Send them away from my presence! Let them go! And if they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says: Those destined for death, to death; those for the sword, to the sword; those for starvation, to starvation; those for captivity, to captivity.’

I will send four kinds of destroyers against them,” declares the Lord

The Lord said, Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose; surely I will make your enemies plead with you in times of disaster and times of distress.

Lord, you understand; remember me and care for me. Avenge me on my persecutorsYou are long-suffering—do not take me away; think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.

Why?

Do I have anything that the Lord doesn't like? Yes, if I put my work beyond the word of the Lord, and love others with criticism.

The Lord gave much trouble to his people for their rebellion but give Jeremiah a good purpose,  under distress enemies plead with Jeremiah in times of disaster and times of distress.

The Lord remembers Jeremiah for he is chosen by the Lord in these times and environments.

How?

To be a servant is difficult but comes with peace and joy later.
