Jeremiah 38:1-13

Ebed-melech must have been a loving and caring man. He probably risked his life in speaking to the king in such a familiar manner. He obtained permission to rescue Jeremiah after the king had allowed the officials to be as cruel as they wished to Jeremiah. Ebed-melech went to great trouble in his rescue, he found just the right materials, ensuring that Jeremiah suffered the least amount of discomfort possible when being hoisted from his slimy prison.

Ebed-melech was an Ethiopian yet he was the one who had sympathy for Jeremiah.

We are all God's children, whatever our nationality. We show our true allegiance by our actions. I pray that my actions are those of loving kindness, that love is my uniform.
