I love that yesterday we read about the foreigner who took care of Jeremiah in his situation. Well, today, I am happy to state that the Lord was pleased with his actions, that the Lord decides to spare Ebed-melech from disaster. The Lord says to him, "for I will certainly rescue you, and you will not fall by the sword; but you will have your own life as booty, because you have trusted in Me." The Lord honors those who protects and has compassion on others. Again, compassion isn't just a feeling but it is a feeling that leads to action. We are reminded of great compassion by Ebed-melech and how the Lord honored him. How are we doing in the area of compassion and protecting the ones that the Lord has brought to our lives? May He be honored by us!!!
