R³ Devotional - Day 226

R³ Devotional - Day 226 - Jeremiah 26

By: Anderson Baptist Church

Jeremiah 26 is a powerful chapter that highlights the tension between prophetic truth and public resistance. It’s a moment where Jeremiah’s life hangs in the balance because he dared to speak God’s word boldly.

Real Life Principles:
  • Prophetic Obedience Requires Courage
  • “Do not omit a word” (v.2). Jeremiah was commanded to speak the full truth, even when it was unpopular.
  • Faithfulness to God often means risking rejection.
  • Repentance Can Reverse Judgment
  • “Perhaps they will listen and turn… then I will relent” (v.3).
  • God’s justice is balanced by His mercy—He desires transformation, not destruction.
  • Truth Will Face Opposition
  • Jeremiah was seized and threatened with death (v.8–11).
  • Speaking truth may provoke hostility, especially when it challenges comfort or tradition.
  • God’s Messengers Are Not Alone
  • Jeremiah was defended by Ahikam and the elders (v.24, v.17–19).
  • God raises allies to protect and affirm His servants.

    Relevant Life Applications:
  • Speak truth with Love- even when it is uncomfortable.
  • Create a culture of repentance everywhere you go.
  • Model obedience to the word over popularity.
  • Empower those who are for grace and truth.
  • Stay accountable and teachable.

    Ready Action Steps:
Obey the Lord, Depend on his wisdom, guidance, and strength.
