Invincible Protection!

Posted on September 17, 2007 by Fr. Jos+

The Lord is with me like a dread warrior. Jeremiah 20: 11

Here Prophet Jeremiah is expressing his confidence in God’s invincible protection over him. Jeremiah went through tough times in life. He suffered ridicule, terror, and fear. It was not easy for him to keep trusting in the Lord. He used every Psalm that came into his mind. Jeremiah the Prophet of God became human and behaved just like one of us.

At the time when Jeremiah went through this tough experience did he really know that the Lord was with him like a warrior protecting him? Or was he hoping for God to become his warrior and fighter? More than the certainty of God’s protection it was the power of his faith, and remembrance of his experience that made him call upon God as the warrior. His past experiences where he crawled into a peaceful space with God made him call upon God for protection. His hope made him see the hand of God work as a dread warrior which he would have lost sight of if he did not wake up his dormant faith.

We face ridicule, terror and fear. Life sometimes is dreadful. But the Lord who lives deep within us can be woken up to become our warrior and our savior. Crawl into that little space of hope which is buried under the rubbles of life, and call upon the Lord. God will rise up from the midst of the ruins and become the invincible protection in your life.

Blessings

Fr. Jos

True Religion

What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? - Micah 6: 8 (The New Revised Standard Version)

Right Worship

Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. - John 4: 24 (The Message Bible)

Living Faith

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works?... If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? - James 2: 14-16 (NRSV)
