I seriously love how God works! He never works the way that we think He will. Jeremiah is in a dungeon because of his prediction of what is going to happen to Jerusalem and how they will be captured. The news of Jeremiah's thoughts were not received well, so he was thrown in the dungeon maybe to die. But God is always on the move and uses a man by the name of Ebed-melech, an Ethiopian, to save him. He goes to the king and defends Jeremiah and states how the men poorly treated Jeremiah. The king then orders 30 men to go get Jeremiah out of the dungeon and into a prison court. How cool is that? A foreigner being used to save a man of God. Only God!!! I am one who deserves the dungeon to death. I am guilty for my wrongs and yet, only God can save me and He does by sending me a Savior who not only pulls me out of the pit, but allows Himself to be punished for my wrongs so that I could be set free. Only God!!! You are free friends...don't live in the dungeon anymore.
