What I Learned From Baruch

I was recently asked to lead a devotional time for a small group and it happened that I’ve been reading through the book of Jeremiah and one of the minor characters in the drama, Baruch, kept standing out to me.  I relate to some of the minor characters in the stories of God’s redemptive plan because I’m a pretty minor character in the grand scheme of things.  I also think that deep down inside we all really want to be a Paul or a Peter or an Abraham or a Sarah and it’s a comfort to me that even those relegated to the status of rank and file still sometimes get an honorable mention in the scriptures.
