TOPIC: DIVINE PROTECTION FOR THE GODLY
TEXT: Jeremiah 26:1-24
KEY VERSE:
“Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.” - (Jeremiah 26:24)
God will definitely not be late in sending you help in time of trouble if you faithfully serve him. This exactly was the case of Prophet Jeremiah who declared the word of the Lord to the princes and people of Judah about the impending destruction and captivity awaiting Jerusalem.
He hammered on the urgent need for repentance - a warning that fell on deaf ears of the noble men who plotted to eliminate the prophet. Rebellion breeds hardness of heart and God will definitely break every adamant heart, be it the heart of Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Herod or whoever!
Our key verse relates a heart-warming testimony of God providing a faithful man, Ahikam, son of Shaphan who resisted the princes of Judah and ensured that Jeremiah was not martyred as planned. He will always send a deliverer and helper to His true servants in the hour of need. Apostle Paul declares, “And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” (2 Timothy 4:18).
As God’s servants, our business is to faithfully pursue His programme and assignments for us. As for the details of what happens to us and the outcomes of our mission, all that belongs to Him. We must remember that Christ is never too late; He will definitely perfect all that concern us and protect His people during challenges. Only let us do our part diligently because He will not fail in His.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
His work cannot take you where His power cannot protect you.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
2 Chronicles 18-21
