Today's reading: Jeremiah 27-31
"For the Lord has redeemed Israel from those too strong for them." Jeremiah 31:11 NLT
I have been bought back from those having more money that I could ever scrape up to offer.
I have been taken back from those who have tied me with cords too strong for me to break.
I have been brought up from pits my enemies knew were too deep for me to crawl out of.
I have been released from the condemnations of those knowing the sins of my past and knowing which buttons they can push to keep me down.
I have had the lies of satan silenced.
I have been sheltered from fiery darts those against me knew I was incapable of running from.
I have been redeemed by God from hell, an eternity without Him and hopelessness!
Redeemed--how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child, and forever, I am.
Redeemed, redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed,
His child, and forever, I am.
-Fanny Crosby
