#soap # Jeremiah 01 ## Title: God Takes Care of Us ## Scripture: (Jeremiah 1:17-19) “But you, Jeremiah, get yourself ready! Go and tell these people everything I instruct you to say. Do not be terrified of them, or I will give you good reason to be terrified of them. I, the Lord, hereby promise to make you as strong as a fortified city, an iron pillar, and a bronze wall. You will be able to stand up against all who live in the land, including the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and all the people of the land. They will attack you but they will not be able to overcome you, for I will be with you to rescue you,” says the Lord. (NET) ## Observation: God tells Jeremiah that others will try to rise up against him but God would “take care” of him. Wow. There is no better promise than that. Life will have ups and downs. People will not always be out for your good. But don’t worry, God is going to be the one who will take care of you. That’s enough for me. It can be for you too. ## Application: Live your life today as though God is in charge and is taking care of your needs. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for caring for us.
