The Lord Redeemed!

Psalm 107: 1-2 “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! His faithful love endures forever. Has the LORD redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others He has saved you from your enemies” (NLT).

“Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out?” God has done so much for us and we have so much for which to thank Him. He wants us to tell everyone all that He has done. These verses encourage us to declare what God has done. We are encourage not to keep this glorious experience of God’s presence to ourselves, but to share with others who might be hungry to hear what God has done for you. Is there someone you would like to share and tell them how God can save them from their enemies?

Acts 1:8 “ But when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you will receive power and will tell people about Me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (NLT). 

Power from the Holy Spirit is not limited to strength beyond the ordinary. That power also involves courage, boldness, confidence, insight, ability, and authority. The disciples would need all these gifts to fulfill their mission. If you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you can experience the power of the Holy Spirit in your life.

So let us trust God to give us the courage today!

Song: Redeemed
1. Redeemed how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb:
Redeemed thro’ His infinite mercy,
His child, and forever, I am.
Chorus:
Redeemed, . . Redeemed, . .
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, . . Redeemed, . .
His child, and forever, I am.

2. I know I shall see in His beauty
The King in whose law I delight,
Who lovingly guard-eth my foot-steps
And giveth me songs in the night.
Chorus:
Redeemed, . . Redeemed, . .
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, . . Redeemed, . .
His child, and forever, I am.
(Fanny Jane Crosby)
