My Redeemer Lives

Sometimes when we are waiting for God to do what we want Him to do, it is hard to believe that Our Redeemer lives. This morning as I was reading my Bible reading doing my devotions, I read that I know my Redeemer lives! This song came into my head and I haven't been able to get it out of my head and my heart.

I have been frustrated because I have had to live through another Michigan winter. The Doctors said I wouldn't survive another one - I did MY REDEEMER LIVES.

I have been discouraged because Jim hasn't found a job in Florida and the one that looked so promising - doesn't look so promising now. BUT - he has had some work here so we are not starving - MY REDEEMER LIVES.

I have been sick, pneumonia, stomach flu (all of us had this one), pneumonia again. I have not died and spring is on it's way - MY REDEEMER LIVES.

I could keep going but I think I made my point.

I can't tell you that my heart is completely sold out and that I won't fall back into fear and worry but it is nice - FOR TODAY - not to be afraid. Not to worry and to KNOW, that I KNOW, that I KNOW that MY REDEEMER LIVES!

Lord, please keep us safe and help us always to know - you are no longer on that cross, no longer in the grave but that you LIVE and that we can hide in your arms.

Amen
