Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out. Tell others He has redeemed you from your enemies. Psalm 107:2

This morning, I heard the word redeemed, so I began to investigate. The dictionary says it means to buy back or pay off. What a beautiful thought this morning.

I reminds me of a song my mom used to sing, “He paid a debt he did not owe, I owed a debt I could not pay. I needed someone to wash my sin away.”

I guess when you owe so much and there is no possible way to pay it and someone wipes that debt clean, we call it bankruptcy, He calls it redemption.

Yet when He calls us to do something, we turn a deaf ear to Him. How selfish we can be at times. We owe Him our lives and give Him so little.

Thank you, Lord, for redeeming me. I was a sinner! My debt was more than I was worth, but you bought me with your blood. What a gift you are to me! As the year draws to an end, you, oh Lord, have new beginnings for me. Old things are past away, and all things are new in you.

I look forward to the journey you have for me in 2024. Once again, my hand rests in yours, you lead, I follow. May I be as a child in wonder and delight at all the great gifts you’ve bestowed on me. I am forever grateful for redemption.
