September 24, 2026, Jeremiah 39:11-18
11 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave command concerning
Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, saying, 12 “Take
him, look after him well, and do him no harm, but deal with him as he tells
you.” 13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the
guard, Nebushazban the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, and all the
chief officers of the king of Babylon 14 sent and
took Jeremiah from the court of the guard. They entrusted him
to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, that he should
take him home. So he lived among the people.
15 The word of the Lord came
to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guard: 16 “Go,
and say to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of
Israel: Behold, I will fulfill my words against this city for harm
and not for good, and they shall be accomplished before you on that
day. 17 But I will deliver you on that day,
declares the Lord, and you
shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid. 18 For
I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but you shall have
your life as a prize of war, because you have put your trust in me,
declares the Lord.’”
God does good to Ebed-melech because of his obedience.
Don’t you love it when God helps those who love him? How blessed as believers
we are!
