You Can Get There From Here

Day 171    I AM Your Redeemer

Psalm 111:9 (NIV1984)

 He provided redemption for his people;
he ordained his covenant forever—
holy and awesome is his name.

God is our Redeemer because He provided redemption for us.  Redemption means “recovery by payment.”  Jesus is our payment.  Our debt has been paid.  He paid off our debt.  We get a fresh start—a second chance!  How wonderful is that!!

Isaiah 59:20 (NIV1984)

 “The Redeemer will come to Zion,
to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,”
declares the LORD.

When we come to Jesus with our sins, He forgives us and wipes the slate clean.  I used to teach our children that concept using one of those little slates with the cellophane covering and the plastic stylus.  We can ask forgiveness when we sin, and God lifts the cellophane and the incident is removed.  Gone forever!  Never to be seen again!!

And here is the wonderful aspect of God’s character of Redeemer:

Jeremiah 50:34   (NIV1984)

Yet their Redeemer is strong;
the LORD Almighty is his name.
He will vigorously defend their cause
so that he may bring rest to their land,
but unrest to those who live in Babylon.

I am so glad that God is defending my cause, aren’t you??  Can you imagine---God Almighty defending your cause??  He forgives us and He defends us!  That’s our wonderful God!!
