Jeremiah 12:6
"“If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? Though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?"
Key Reflection
This passage underscores the futility of human efforts against divine challenges. Just as running against footmen would be wearying, so too is standing firm against God's will; yet in times of peace and security, facing the greater trials symbolized by the pride of the Jordan River (a metaphor for formidable opposition) becomes even more daunting.
