Bible verses: Jeremiah 1:17-19
17
"Now, get ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you.
Do not be intimidated by them or I will cause you to cower before them.
18 Today, I am the One who has made you a fortified city, an iron
pillar, and bronze walls before the whole land--against the kings of
Judah, its officials, its priests, and the population. 19 They will
fight against you but never prevail over you, since I am with you to
rescue you." This is the Lord's declaration.
From the Life Values study guide:
Have
confidence in God or He might allow fear to rule over you. Remember,
that God is the one who equips us with the strength to meet any
situation.
***
I
think that we should all keep our focus on what God's will is for us in
any situation we face. Like He told Jeremiah, keep your confidence in
Me or you will fall. Good advice for the prophet of the Old Testament
and good advice for us today.
