Jeremiah 39:15-18


It is all about trust! You must believe in your heart that God is a rewarder of those who place their trust in Him. In the amount that you trust Him is the amount that you can receive knowing that faith alone pleases Him. (39:11) Jeremiah was imprisoned by his enemies but given his freedom by the King .....(39:10) and the captain of the guard left the poor people, who had nothing, and gave them vineyards and fields....the favor of God is given to those who trust in Him.

Ebed-Melech, who had carefully rescued Jeremiah from the muddy cistern in the prison court (38:11–13), was promised safety and deliverance by the Lord because of his assistance to Jeremiah and because he had put his trust in God.

Jeremiah 39:15-18

15 Meanwhile the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 16 “Go and speak to Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will bring My words upon this city for adversity and not for good, and they shall be performed in that day before you. 17 But I will deliver you in that day,” says the Lord, “and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid. 18 For I will surely deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword; but your life shall be as a prize to you, because you have put your trust in Me,” says the Lord.’ ”
