  Jeremiah 39
Jeremiah 39:17 – But I will deliver you on that day," declares the LORD, "and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you dread.

In this chapter, God is giving a promise to Jeremiah and Ebed-melech that they will not die, even though all that surrounds them will be destroyed. This gives us hope that in the midst of some really awful circumstances, we just might survive.

It has been correctly said that the things we dread most in life rarely ever happen. Yet we spend enormous energy fretting about those things that may or may not occur. God expects us to be vigilant and prepared, but then He expects us to leave it with Him. In our American culture today, we are too wrapped up in our “things.”

Have you watched the Atlanta TV news recently? There always seems to be apartments that have burned down overnight. Most people that are interviewed
share their relief that everyone got out OK. God provided a way of escape in the midst of the destruction.

Just like Jeremiah.
