Outside the fortified walls of Carcasonne Castle, France
For behold I have made you this day
a fortified city and an iron pillar,
and bronze walls against the whole land,
against the kings of Judah,
against its princes,
against its priests,
against the people of the land.
They will fight against you,
but they shall not prevail against you,
For I am with you, says the Lord,
to deliver you.
- Jeremiah 1:17-19
When I read these words this morning, I was speechless.
I badly needed this assurance, but didn't expect to read them as if they were being spoken directly to me.
What can I say?
Obviously heavenly Father wants to build strength inside of me and beef up my confidence in Him.
I can only say, "Thank You, Father. I believe You. I receive these words that you have spoken to me today."
