Jan.23.03: Light For The Day - "Redemption" -- Psalms 111:9 (NKJV) "He has sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever: Holy and awesome is His name." --------- God knows that as hard as we may try, there are times when we will make human mistakes. Even so, if we trust in Him and ask His forgiveness. He will bless us with mercy and peace. --------- "Redemption" The Lord hath spoken peace to my soul, He hath blessed me abundantly, Hath pardon my sins; He hath shown me great mercy and saved me by His love. I will sing of His goodness and mercy while I live, And ever, forever will praise His Holy Name. O how sweet to trust in God, And to know your sins forgiven, To believe His precious word, And be guided by His love. Therefore goodness and mercy, Shall follow me all the days of my life. Amen. -- C.E.Leslie ---------------- -- Matthew 1:21 (NKJV) "And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins." -- Ephesians 1:7 (NKJV) "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace." -- Isaiah 1:18 (NIVUS) "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD.
