Priests were highly respected. They had an honorable and secure place in society. The people usually took good care of their priests. But Jeremiah never got to experience the joys of the priesthood. God had other plans for his life.
Nobody likes prophets.
This is not at all the type of ministry that Jeremiah was looking forward to. I m too young, I wouldn t know what to say. But God promises to be with Jeremiah. That s pretty awesome to be on God s short list for leadership even before you are born. I mean how can you fight those odds.
