Jer 1:19
And they shall fight against thee; but they
shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver
thee.
The Lord is
speaking to His servant Jeremiah and warning him ahead of time of the
opposition he will face. He assures His
servant that those who fight against him will not prevail. Why?
Because the Lord will be with him.
We are seeing that God’s promised presence will enable us to not be
overcome by the things that come against us.
He is with us to deliver us. He
is not with us just to be a friend with whom we hang out, but He is a deliverer
who is with us in times of trouble. He
is not with us just to help us not feel alone in trouble, but with us to
deliver us from the enemy’s plans. This
is why it is so important for us to cultivate and consider the relationship we
have with God. This companionship is
vital for support, strength, and deliverance.
We must take the time, often, to connect with Him so we are assured of
this truth. If you are facing a strong
opposition, now is the time to draw away and become acutely aware of the fact
that He is with you. This will protect
you from fighting in your own strength or deciding to give up to the pressure
and onslaught. He is with you to deliver
you!
