Is there someone God wants you to be concerned about right now and show compassion?

In addition to Ebed Melechs' courage, we also see his compassion. In fact, it was his compassion for Jeremiah which fueled his courage to approach King Zedekiah and ask to rescue Jeremiah from certain death. A great Biblical example of compassion in action is the story of the Good Samaritan as told by Jesus in Luke's gospel, chapter 10. This is a passage that all of us should be continually reminded of. This quality of compassion can inspire us to take the kind of courageous action that Ebed Melech took in Jeremiah 38. If we feel so strongly about someone or something, it can be the only foundation we need to do something courageous. Jeremiah, the prophet of God, found himself in a pit and Ebed Melechs' compassion drew him out. Is there someone God wants you to be concerned about right now and show compassion? When we find ourselves in the pits of life the Bible teaches us that God's compassion is activated to help us out. Listen to the words of the psalmist in Psalm 40:1-2. "I relied completely on the Lord, and He turned to me and heard my cry for help. He lifted me out of the watery pit, our of the slimy mud. He placed my feet on a rock and gave me secure footing."
