My children come to me quite often telling me what their brother or sister said to them. It might have been a threat to damage their favorite toy or something about getting a spanking for a bad deed. So many times, one of my children has come to me so upset until I simply say, "That's not going to happen." Once they hear me assure them that their toys and/or bottoms are in no real danger, they calm down. They begin to realize that someone made statements that they couldn't back up.
Judah had a serious situation and they were being told by their enemies that it was all over for them. However, a declaration by their enemies did not trump the declaration of God. God simply says, "It' ain't gonna happen." Sometimes we get caught up in the threats of the world and we forget to trust God and fear him only. Instead we find ourselves fearing man, who can touch our lives, but not our souls. What words of men have you worried? Is there talk in your work place of cutbacks. Do you hear constant bad news regarding your investments that you have spent so much time on? Let us remember that the only one with the power to make declarations over our lives is the Lord. If you lose your job or your money, God is aware. Nothing comes to pass without his knowledge. Trust in the Lord, and seek His peace in your times of confusion.
