Reading
“And I will make you to this people a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you, but they shall not prevail over you, for I am with you to save you and deliver you, declares the LORD. I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.”” (Jeremiah 15:20–21)
Meditation
When the Lord is on our side, no one and nothing can prevail against us. That is God’s promise to us. Yes, there will be strife and struggle. Yes, there will be trouble in this life. But God promises deliverance and redemption from all our enemies. In fact, He has already delivered us though the death and resurrection of Jesus.
