Jer 39:17 But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid. Jer 39:18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
The rise of evil can cause the righteous to fear. Satan will always use the threat of persecution to strike fear in our hearts. We have in this passage an assurance that God is always in control, and He is constantly aware of His children. Those who trust in God shall never been forsaken by God, He will not allow them to become prey and helpless to the evil around them. Take heart, bravely face the future with your trust in the almighty God.
