I put my faith in You
Jer 39:1 In the tenth month of the ninth year that Zedekiah was king of Judah, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia came with his whole army and attacked Jerusalem.
Jer 39:2 On the ninth day of the fourth month of Zedekiah's eleventh year as king, the city walls were broken through.
Jer 39:3 (When Jerusalem was captured, all the high officials of the king of Babylonia came and took their places at the Middle Gate, including Nergal Sharezer, Samgar Nebo, Sarsechim, and another Nergal Sharezer. )
Jer 39:4 When King Zedekiah and all his soldiers saw what was happening, they tried to escape from the city during the night. They left by way of the royal garden, went through the gateway connecting the two walls, and escaped in the direction of the Jordan Valley.
Jer 39:5 But the Babylonian army pursued them and captured Zedekiah in the plains near Jericho. Then they took him to King Nebuchadnezzar, who was in the city of Riblah in the territory of Hamath, and there Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him.
Jer 39:6 At Riblah he put Zedekiah's sons to death while Zedekiah was looking on, and he also had the officials of Judah executed.
Jer 39:7 After that, he had Zedekiah's eyes put out and had him placed in chains to be taken to Babylonia.
Jer 39:8 Meanwhile, the Babylonians burned down the royal palace and the houses of the people and tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
Jer 39:9 Finally Nebuzaradan, the commanding officer, took away as prisoners to Babylonia the people who were left in the city, together with those who had deserted to him.
Jer 39:10 He left in the land of Judah some of the poorest people, who owned no property, and he gave them vineyards and fields.
Jer 39:11 But King Nebuchadnezzar commanded Nebuzaradan, the commanding officer, to give the following order:
Jer 39:12 "Go and find Jeremiah and take good care of him. Do not harm him, but do for him whatever he wants."
Jer 39:13 So Nebuzaradan, together with the high officials Nebushazban and Nergal Sharezer and all the other officers of the king of Babylonia,
Jer 39:14 had me brought from the palace courtyard. They put me under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, who was to see that I got home safely. And so I stayed there among the people.
Jer 39:15 While I was still imprisoned in the palace courtyard, the LORD told me
Jer 39:16 to tell Ebedmelech the Ethiopian that the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, had said, "Just as I said I would, I am going to bring upon this city destruction and not prosperity. And when this happens, you will be there to see it.
Jer 39:17 But I, the LORD, will protect you, and you will not be handed over to the people you are afraid of.
Jer 39:18 I will keep you safe, and you will not be put to death. You will escape with your life because you have put your trust in me. I, the LORD, have spoken."
Father God, I thank you and I praise you this day. Thank you for this wonderful day you have made for me. Thank you for your faithfulness and I humbly come before your throne. Filled me with your Holy Spirit today that I may live a life that is holy and pleasing to you, Thank you for forgiving all my sins through your son.I put my trust in you today Oh my Lord and I thank you that you will protect me.

I praise you and help me that I may not put shame to your name to day, help me to live a life pleasing to you that I may not grieved the Holy Spirit that lives in me. Do not lead me to test and I rebuke any works of evil today because greater is He that lives in me than he that lives in this world In Jesus Name I pray AMEN!
