“I have revealed and
saved and proclaimed…
…You are my
witnesses,” declares the Lord, “that I am God.”
Isaiah 43:12
What a wonderful
picture the verse above offers of the work that God does in each one of us.
His revelation brings
salvation and causes us to proclaim Him to the nations!
But please don’t see
this as a one-time-only work of God
in each of us.
Sure, it is true that
God has saved us from eternal punishment and separation from Him.
Yes, this salvation happens as we respond to the revelation
of our need in light of His holiness.
This in turn causes us great joy and rejoicing – we shout
the news from the rooftops.
But please understand that you and I are in need of
revelation every day.
We need this revelation to save us from bad choices,
unwise decisions and remarkably foolish disobedience.
In other words there is a ‘saving from ourselves’ that
God brings to us regularly.
He reveals His truth to us which saves us from
heartache and ruin.
As we respond to that revelation and are saved from
whatever we were about to do or whatever poor choice we were prepared to make
we can proclaim to others that His saving grace is being worked in us
day-by-day!
God open our eyes to
see your salvation.
Give us ears that
hear the voice of your Holy Spirit.
May the revelation
and the salvation become, in us, a proclamation to the world that
God alone can save!
You bring to us
revelation and salvation not just once but over and over and over again!
As you do, may we
faithfully be your witnesses to proclaim that you alone are God!
Has He brought you
revelation today?
Has He saved you
today – from yourself and others?
Will you proclaim
that to the world that they may know that He is God?
