September 21, 2026, Jeremiah 38:7-13
7 When Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch who
was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern—the
king was sitting in the Benjamin Gate— 8 Ebed-melech
went from the king's house and said to the king, 9 “My
lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they did to Jeremiah the
prophet by casting him into the cistern, and he will die there
of hunger, for there is no bread left in the city.” 10 Then
the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, “Take thirty men with you
from here, and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he
dies.” 11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him
and went to the house of the king, to a wardrobe in the storehouse, and took
from there old rags and worn-out clothes, which he let down to Jeremiah in the
cistern by ropes. 12 Then Ebed-melech the
Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, “Put the rags and clothes between your armpits
and the ropes.” Jeremiah did so. 13 Then they
drew Jeremiah up with ropes and lifted him out of the cistern. And
Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
How has God sent you aid through unusual means? Have you
ever felt the prodding of the Holy Spirit and answered the call to help
another? How did that make you feel?
