Jeremiah 45:5

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Seekest thou great things, etc.? All around is passing through a sore crisis, and canst thou expect a better lot? It is no time for personal ambition, when the very foundations of the state are crumbling. In all places whither thou goest. This seems to indicate that Baruch's time of exile would be a restless one; it would nowhere be safe for him to take up a settled habitation.

This week, find a "foot-washing" opportunity in your home or church. Do a task that is "beneath" you; clean the bathroom, take out the trash, or do the dishes and do it secretly. Don't tell anyone. Let God be the only one who sees your towel.Discipledeck
