Psalm 130 What's Your Life Worth?

Psalm 130:7

O’ Israel

(People of God)

Put your hope in the LORD,

For with the LORD is unfailing Love,

And with Him is Full Redemption.

Redemption…..

Deliverance by payment of a price.

Guys….

We have been delivered…..

We have been redeemed from the bondage of sin……

We have been redeemed from a meaningless, dead…… 

Existence.

O’ Christian…

We have been redeemed from death itself.

The price was the very Life of Christ….

God’s One and Only sinless Son……

The Only Begotten of God Himself.

The Very Life of Christ……

Is the worth Father has ascribed to you.

The Very Life of Christ……

Is what Father has paid for you.

The Very Life of Christ…..

Is what Father has given you.

Oh what Love!

Oh what a Gift!

Incredible.

Is it any wonder that the Psalmist calls on us….

Calls on us to put our hope in a God such as this.

1 John 3:16

This is how we know what Love is;

Jesus Christ laid down His Life for us…..

Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit of The Living God,

Thank You for my full redemption.

I receive Your Gift.

I receive Your Life.

Thank You.

Amen

Psalm 71 The Real Value of a Man..........or Woman Comes from...........

Psalm 71:9

Do not cast me away when I am old;

Do not forsake me when my strength is gone.

I wonder what will happen to me when………..

I am not useful to anyone anymore-

When my energy is spent-

And I have nothing left to give.

It feels so good to be needed.

There is such a sense of……………….

Validation.

And yet, truth be known-

God has never needed me-

Or anything from me.

If there is work to be done for Him-

It is not because He needs me-

Truly the work………….

Is one of His many gifts to me-

That I may participate in His………….

Glory.

No…………..

Truth be known-

Father doesn’t need me-

Father simply………..

Loves me.

It’s a truth that will never change.

Not when I am old-

Nor when all my strength is gone.

He Loves…………..me.

Hebrews 13:5

……….God has said,

“Never will I leave you;

Never will I forsake you.”

Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit

Move in me to live today from Your unfailing Love-

Help me to get past the notion of how much I do for You-

Help me instead to go out powerfully in this life knowing-

Really knowing

From the top of my head to the tips of my toes-

Knowing and finding all my strength in Your Great Love.

Amen
