Jeremiah 33:3 is one of my most-favorite verses. After long experience seeing God working and answering prayers, I've come to recognize that this is a defining characteristic of His answers. That is, He never simply responds in the manner we're expecting; rather, He embellishes His answer with novel and unexpected flourishes supplying additional blessing. It identifies His answer as coming from Him, in addition to its other perfect qualities. He's a show-off! But He's entitled.

To: Hebrews 11:6

Indeed! When I first began studying the Bible almost a half-century ago, I was a little scared of Jeremiah. Now he seems like a trusted friend.

The episode when the king burns Jeremiah’s scroll, page by page, reminds me of the current “cancel culture”.

Jeremiah’s response was perfect.

“You burned up my scroll? Hey Baruch, get out your ink pot and pen and writing tools. I’ll dictate it all over again!”

I LOVE it.
