Spurgeon's Faith Checkbook
For the mid-day devotion of July 5th
Complete Deliverance
But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the Lord; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid. (Jeremiah 39:17)
hen the Lord's faithful ones are suffering for Him, they shall have sweet
messages of love from Himself, and sometimes they shall have glad tidings for
those who sympathize with them and help them. Ebed-melech was only a despised
Ethiopian, but he was kind to Jeremiah, and so the Lord sent him this special
promise by the mouth of His prophet. Let us be ever mindful of God's persecuted
servants, and He will reward us.
Ebed-melech was to be delivered from the men whose vengeance he feared. He was a humble... man, but Jehovah would take care of him. Thousands were slain by the Chaldeans, but [he] could not be hurt. We, too, may be fearful of some great ones who are bitter against us; but if we have been faithful to the Lord's cause in the hour of persecution, He will be faithful to us. After all, what can a man do without the Lord's permission? He puts a bit into the mouth of rage and a bridle upon the head of power. Let us fear the Lord, and we shall have no one else to fear. No cup of cold water given to a despised prophet of God shall be without its reward; and if we stand up for Jesus, Jesus will stand up for us.
