Today's first reading comes from Jeremiah 20. The prophet wrote, "I hear the whisperings of many: 'Terror on every side! Denounce! let us denounce him!' All those who were my friends are on the watch for any misstep of mine. 'Perhaps he will be trapped; then we can prevail, and take our vengeance on him.' But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion: my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph. In their failure they will be put to utter shame, to lasting, unforgettable confusion." I cannot speak for everyone, but personally I know that if we stick with Christ, then no matter how much people denounce, attack, or persecute us, we will come through unscathed in the end. This is assured for all who belong to the Lord.
