Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Deliverance does come from the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, our spiritual fathers from previous generations. We can trust in this deliverance because of God's faithfulness to his people under the Old Covenant (the Old Testament). We see God's deliverance as the Father sends his Son, Jesus, as our Savior. We experience this deliverance in the outpouring of the Spirit by the resurrected Savior. So, as this verse suggests, we can confidently ask the Lord to bless us with his richest and greatest blessings as his people because we know that he has already given us the greatest gift of his Son. So, we believe with the apostle, Paul, that since God has done this to save us, "how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" (Romans 8:31-32)

My Prayer...

Thank you, O God, for the salvation you have given to us in Jesus. Use us, your people, to spread this blessing to others so that all nations - all peoples - will know your love and come to know your deliverance found in your Son, our Savior and Lord. In the name of our Deliverer, we pray. Amen.
