Read Jeremiah 15:21
What a powerful promise from God—“I will deliver you… I will redeem you.” Notice how personal it is. God Himself steps forward to say, “I will do it.” He does not delegate our rescue to others. He does not ask for our strength or wisdom. He Himself becomes our Defender, Redeemer, and Deliverer.
How comforting it is to know that our safety does not depend on human help! Friends may fail us, family may be powerless, and our own strength may run out—but the Lord’s promise stands unshaken. His “I will” is enough. His arm is strong to save. His word cannot fail.
Too often we look around for human solutions, trying to calculate how to escape our troubles. Yet the Lord invites us to stop striving and trust His power alone. When God says, “I will deliver,” He means that nothing—no wicked scheme, no cruel person, no impossible circumstance—can stand in His way.
Even the “terrible ones” lose their terror when God is on our side. He can turn their fury into our blessing and their cruelty into our strengthening. When we walk with integrity and faith, every fiery trial becomes an opportunity for God to reveal His glory.
Let us, then, wait quietly on Him. For the same hand that parted the Red Sea and shut the lions’ mouths is the hand that holds you today.
“If God is for us, who can be against us?” – Romans 8:31
Reflection for Today
When fear or opposition arises, do I look first to human help—or do I rest in God’s personal promise, “I will deliver you”?
Prayer
Almighty Deliverer, thank You for Your promise to rescue and redeem me. Forgive me when I look to people or my own strength instead of trusting You completely. Teach me to rest in Your power and faithfulness. When I face the wicked or the fearful, remind me that You are with me, and no one can stand against me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Bp. Paul Solomon Maglaya
