I love the word redemption. One of its definitions is the action of saving or being saved from sin, error or evil. The world is full of these wonderful stories where good prevails, the underdog wins, where beauty comes from ashes. My verse for today comes from (Isaiah 61:3-7). God will bestow on you a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
I chose this blog name because I have experienced the truth of this bible verse countless times in the major and minor areas of my life. God’s redemption song over my life started before conception. We all have our stories…I was orphaned, grew up in poverty, suffered abuse, racism and countless hardships. These afflictions were never ever of God’s making, but He redeemed it all! Thank you Abba Father! My heart is for everyone who encounter my words to believe in the redemption story God is waiting to write or has already written for each and every one of us. The bible is a living, breathing book filled with advice and strategies for every situation we will ever experience. We meet the Living God in the content of its pages. However, we have to take the time to partake of its supernatural wonder..by reading it for ourselves, or listening to it . While sermons are edifying, it is our own seeking of God’s truth that brings revelation. All else is just information. I encourage you today, read from God’s word today with the heart motive in search of truth. I pray that God’s Holy Spirit will open up the eyes of your understanding. I pray all blinkers and falsities be removed. I pray that you find what you seek…but you have to seek first His Kingdom. Next time I will share some of the ways I have applied the living Word of God and experienced victory. Till soon 🙂
