Eagles Life Construction Zone-Bricks to Rebuild Lives -Bishop Eugene Cooper

When God called Jeremiah as His messenger, He promised to protect him. One aspect of this protection was spiritual, as  the Lord gave Jeremiah the inner strength of a fortified city (1:18) His protection was also physical: "They will fight you, but they will fail" (1:19).

During the reign of Josiah King of Judah, Jeremiah did not encounter much personal danger, but the situation changed dramatically when Jehoiakim came to power. Hostility from the king and his family surfaced quickly, and Jeremiah suddenly found his life in danger, but the Lord reassured him of His divine protection. (11:18-23) 

That promised seemed to be contradiction when Pashhur arrested Jeremiah, had him whipped, and placed him in stocks (20:1-2) Jeremiah rebuked the Lord for seemingly misleading him, but he soon regained his trust in the Lord for seemingly misleading him (20:7-13).
