## Resource

True faithfulness is measured by persistence in one's calling, regardless of the response from others. Using the prophet Jeremiah and the life of Brother Ochi, this devotional explores how to remain steadfast even when facing widespread disregard for God.

## Highlights
- Main idea: Spiritual perseverance requires staying true to God's call even when the world ignores the message
- Practical takeaway: Develop the tenacity to 'keep on keeping on' in prayer and service, especially when seeking the salvation of others
- Failure mode: Ignoring divine warnings leads to self-inflicted hardship and spiritual judgment
- Historical lesson: The Babylonian exile serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of persistent disobedience
- Inspirational model: Brother Ochi's fifty-year ministry in Japan demonstrates how joy can coexist with a difficult mission field
