CARE: You are under God's care through others - Jeremiah 39:12

But King Nebuchadnezzar commanded Nebuzaradan, the commanding officer, to give the following order: “Go and find Jeremiah and take good care of him. Do not harm him, but do for him whatever he wants.” So Nebuzaradan, together with the high officials Nebushazban and Nergal Sharezer and all the other officers of the king of Babylonia, had me brought from the palace courtyard. They put me under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, who was to see that I got home safely. And so I stayed there among the people. Jeremiah 39:11-12

Prayer & Praise

Thank You, Sovereign God, for placing and using unique individuals whom I may view as enemies yet care for me, just as they did for Your faithful messenger, Jeremiah. Lord Jesus, I want to honor You even if I may be hated for speaking Your truth or persecuted for Your Name's sake. I praise You for reminding me through this holy scripture that the Father cares for me and that You are the Good Shepherd who watches over me. Hallelujah and amen!
