You are listening to DOODJOY FM "But I will deliver you on that day," declares the Lord, "and you will not be given into the hands of the men you fear." Jeremiah 39:17. WHEN the Lord’s faithful ones suffer for His sake, they receive precious messages of His love, and sometimes they even have happy news to bring to those who sympathize with and help them. Ebed-Melech was a despised Ethiopian, yet he had shown kindness to Jeremiah; therefore, the Lord sent him a special promise through the mouth of His prophet. Let us remember God’s persecuted servants, and we shall be rewarded for it. Ebed-Melech was to be delivered from the hand of those whose vengeance he feared. He was a poor black man, but the Lord cared for him. Thousands were struck down by the Chaldeans, yet this humble man could not be touched. We, too, may fear some powerful person who bears us ill will, but if, in the hour of persecution, we have been faithful to the Lord’s cause, He too will be faithful to us. After all, what can a man do without God’s permission? He may bite his lips in rage and gnash his teeth in spite, but he will not touch us. Let us fear the Lord, and we shall have nothing else to fear. Not a single cup of cold water given to a despised prophet of God will go unrewarded; and if we stand up for Jesus, Jesus will stand up for us Always and forever you need to enjoy DOODJOYFM
