“And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.” Psalm 130:8

“O the Hope of Israel, his Savior in time of trouble.” Jeremiah 14:8

“In wrath remember mercy.” Habakkuk 3:2

Despair not, O my soul, in any tribulation or conflict, as if it were impossible to overcome. The healing word of God contains advice and comfort for all cases. The Lord, being your Helper in all adversities and able to turn the sharpest afflictions into the greatest blessings, would never smite if He were not willing to heal, nor withhold from you one privilege, if He had not a better to substitute.

O Lord, I trust You will carry me through all difficulties. Though my misery and weakness were ever so great — yet there is nothing too great for You. It is all one to You, to help in great and small distresses; nay, the more I am surrounded with grief and weakness, the more will You pity, spare, and nourish me, as a tender mother does the least of all her children. And the more occasion there will be to display Your mighty salvation. The sharper and longer my distress and conflicts have been, the nearer, greater, and sweeter, I trust, will also be my victory and salvation. The same Lord who has assured me that I shall not be tried above measure, has also engaged to lead me on, conquering, till at length all my enemies are subdued. My soul, wait only upon God; from Him comes my salvation.

Devotion by Karl Heinrich von Bogatzky (1690—1774)

Do You Know Jesus?

The Bible clearly states that everyone has sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). It also emphasizes that while the wages of sin is death, God offers us the incredible gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).

If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, know that today is the day of salvation (Acts 28). Turn away from your sinful past and turn to Jesus. Remember, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved” (Romans 10:13). Don’t wait—find hope and redemption!
