Jeremiah 39:18 I will save you; you will not fall by the sword but will escape with your life, because you trust in me, declares the Lord.

Read the entire 39^th chapter of Jeremiah. It is an amazing demonstration of how God singles out one of his servants for deliverance. An enemy army was invading Jerusalem. The order of things as it citizens knew it was collapsing. There was bloodshed and chaos everywhere, and they were being taken as captives off to a strange land. Sounds so much like the news today with the ever growing problem of refugees from war and hunger. Many will die in their fight for survival.

In the midst of the chaos surrounding Jeremiah, God revealed to him what his will and purpose was for his own life. This is a demonstration of God’s sovereignty. God sees and knows what is happening in the individual lives of each of his children and he determines what your course will be depending on his plan and purpose for each one. As a believer you must get to the place where you understand that you are not alone and therefore it is safe to surrender yourself to God and believe for the best outcome. Listen for his voice at every turn. The Holy Spirit affirms:

“I am the everlasting God. I AM that I AM. I have all things in my power. The things that seem to bewilder men are perfectly plain to me. For I design the end of those who trust in me, so that my will is done when and in the manner I purpose it. It is not a mystery, it is by design that I can separate and sift the good from the evil and reward each man according to his works. I am never confused nor do I make mistakes. Everything works out according to my plans.”
