As I did my Bible study this morning (quietly asking God "What would you have me to say to your people Lord?")
These words stood out for me
Jeremiah 39
16“Go, and say to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will fulfill my words against this city for harm and not for good, and they shall be accomplished before you on that day.17But I will deliver you on that day, declares the Lord, and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.18For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but you shall have your life as a prize of war, because you have put your trust in me, declares the Lord
It is not the first instance I will give you two other instances where calamity surrounded the people because of the evil decrees of Kings but no harm came to God's people because they put their trust in God.
Daniel 3
Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants, who trusted in him, and set aside[6] the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God
Daniel 6
Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that Daniel be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God. 24 And the king commanded, and those men who had maliciously accused Daniel were brought and cast into the den of lions—they, their children, and their wives. And before they reached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones in pieces
God will deliver. No matter what surrounds you today, no matter what evil decrees have been made against God's people - God will deliver.
Put all your hope and trust in him
He will never disappoint you.
Trust God and live.
Amen
Walk good in Christ
Till we meet again
