God as Redeemer: Replacing Loss with Something Only He Can Give

Have you discovered that God wants to redeem things that you never dreamed possible?

Well, I have embarked on that discovery and I believe it is one of the most beautiful and

touching things about God.  I am understanding that this is nothing less than solid

evidence of His love for me, so it changes my perspective of things I believe I

had lost.  I also believe, knowing the character and faithfulness of God, that I will see

possibilities in my life like never before.

Time and again in His Word God shows His redemption.  And because He has already

redeemed the most important things in my life.  He has redeemed me from hell, from second

death, from condemnation, from sin. His words cause me to be expectant and hopeful about

what God can do in situations of extreme loss.

In Isaiah, He asks, "Is My hand shorted that it cannot redeem?"  And in the book of

Jeremiah, He says, "I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked and I will redeem

you from the grip of the terrible".  So I know that no matter what has been lost or

stolen in my life, God will restore it in some way.    In Psalm 34, God tells me that

He redeems the soul of His servants.  Of course it's always in His time and His way,

but I know that there will come a point when I no longer feel the pain of certain losses.

The Lord has shown me lovingkindness and tender mercies.  In all things, I worship Him

as my God and my Savior, my Protector and my Deliverer and my Redeemer! His praise is

always on my lips no matter what the circumstances, because He has graciously showed me

that He alone knows how to repair and rebuild no matter how much damage has occurred.

I am confident that I will never experience any loss so great that He cannot restore or redeem

it in some way.

Lord, thank you for loving me so great that You desire to restore my life in every way.

Redeem me and revive me according to Your Word. (Psalm 119:154).  Draw near to my

soul, and redeem it.  (Psalm 69:18)  Redeem me and be merciful to me.  (Psalm 26:11)

Thank you for all the redemption You have already worked in my life, please continue

to redeem my life in ways I never dreamed possible. I proclaim that You alone, God, are

the God of Impossibilities!  You are Faithful.
