You Can Get There From Here

God— My Redeemer

Isaiah 59:20   New Living Translation 

“The Redeemer will come to Jerusalem to buy back those in Israel who have turned from their sins,”  says the Lord.

Redeem means to buy back—-regain possession of something lost.  Here are some other words that describe redeem:  free, liberate, rescue, save.

Jesus Christ went to the cross to save our lives from destruction, sorrow, pain, loss, oppression…..and the list goes on.  That’s why we call Him our Redeemer.  It’s always been His plan that we should live “the good life.”  He released all the blessings of heaven upon us, through His sacrificial blood.

You might say, I am not living “the good life” and I don’t see those “blessings” —in fact, quite the contrary.

That’s because we have an enemy whose full time job is to “kill, steal and destroy.”   And might I add—lie!!  He is always trying to keep us from all that God has for us because He wants to “destroy” our relationship with God.

We need to “work smarter” by reading God’s promises in His word and take them for ourselves.  When he lies to me, I just say, “Too late!  God already promised me ____________________ and it’s a done deal!”
