OUR REDEEMER

"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."

Psalms 19:14
King James Version

Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote a beautiful hymn about Jesus "Worthy the Lamb". Every time I hear this hymn or sing it, I realize once again how much Jesus loves us.

"Hear the cries of the shackled from the onset of time For the chains of defeat there's no key See the tears of the broken, hear the cries of the slaves Is there no one worthy to set us free?

Then the crying is stilled as the chorus rings out The shackled released from their chains And thousands of voices are swelling the song Worthy the Lamb that was slain."

I have been told I can't sing but one day when I go to Heaven I will sing in Heaven's choir and I will be on key. Even though I've been told I can't sing, Jesus likes me to sing. We read in the Bible "Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise." Psalms 98:4.

If we don't praise and thank Jesus for Who He is and for all He has done for us, we are hurting Him and breaking His heart. I have a family I love, a Pastor that I dearly love and appreciate and many wonderful friends  but Jesus is my best Friend.

When people come to visit us they have to go home but Jesus never leaves us. "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Hebrews 13:5

Thank You dear Jesus for never leaving me. I love You so much and long for the day when I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face.

Are you going to see Jesus? If you have never admitted you are a sinner, asked God to forgive you and invited Jesus into your heart to be your personal Saviour, I urge you to do it now even as you are reading this devotion. Don't miss out on spending eternity with Jesus.
