The Lord is with me like a mighty warrior

Jeremiah 20:11 (New International Version)

11 But the LORD is with me like a mighty warrior;
so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced;
their dishonor will never be forgotten.

Dear Warriors,

Jeremiah prophesied this near 586 B.C.,when Jerusalem was completely destroyed.  Jeremiah was trying to bring the people of Judah back to God and was often in danger from political and religious leaders who were angry because of his messages.  Through all this God protected Jeremiah so he could continue to warn the wicked and comfort those who trusted in God.  The Babylonians were on the march and conquering everything in their path, yet Jeremiah could confidently utter these words of hope in the Lord.

I pray for all of you, that you would have this kind of hope that you will never be forgotten and that you are never alone with the Lord by your side.

Love,

Mom
