Our Redeemer is STRONG

"The One who will rescue them is strong—His name is the LORD Almighty..." (Jeremiah 50:34 NLT)

A partial verse caught my eye and encouraged me this morning: "...their Redeemer is strong..." (Jer. 50:34 NIV)

Yes, You are strong LORD! The strongest!

In chapter 50 of the Old Testament book of Jeremiah, the prophet foretold that payback was coming. God would shatter the "hammer" Babylon that had hammered the whole world to pieces.

God's people were oppressed, but the One who will rescue them is strong—He Himself will take up their cause and bring peace to the earth and death to the enemy.

What a grand prayer this passage offers against COVID-19 that has hammered the whole world to pieces. Our Redeemer, the One who will rescue us, is strong. 

O Father God, please take up our cause and bring peace and healing to the earth and Your people. Pronounce sudden death upon COVID-19 in Jesus name and for Your glory! Amen and amen.
