God’s Deliverance
Awaits Us
Each Day
Isaiah 56:1
Thus says the Lord: Maintain justice, and do what is right, for soon my salvation will come, and my deliverance be revealed.
2 Corinthians 6:2
For he says, ‘At an acceptable time I have listened to you, and on a day of salvation I have helped you.’ See, now is the acceptable time; see, now is the day of salvation!
Words of Grace For Today
We’ve waited, waited, and waited …
and now is the day of salvation.
Except it is not that our enemies are eliminated,
It is that we are redeemed and set free from our sins.
We still will struggle to maintain justice, to do what is right, and to be gracious with people who are not just, who do wrong, and who are everything except gracious.
What is new, and is new each time we recognize that the Kingdom of God is at hand, is that we know that God has and continually delivers us.
That is the basis for living in grace, living out grace for others, and finding hope, joy, and peace in each moment whether it’s a challenge or not we are in the middle of.
