Knowing God - He Redeems From Destruction


Ps 103:4

 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

One of our Lord’s goals in assuming leadership of our lives is to redeem our lives from destruction.  We must remember this whenever we sense a call from Him to surrender something or repent from some pattern we may find ourselves in.  He has our deliverance in mind and knows where our behavior is leading.  When His conviction comes it is because He wants to redeem our lives from destruction.  We must welcome the opportunity to run in the direction He is leading us towards and away from what He is clearly telling us to flee from.  We must embrace this as the Lord’s desire to spare us from destruction.  This truth will help us resist the enemy’s lies that obedience is a bother and that God is trying to keep us from all of the fun.  We must look at the leading of God as from a God who desires to rescue and take it as love and focused concern.  We must realize that God is good and it is ALWAYS a GOOD thing to heed His voice.  He knows what is ahead and His will is good, perfect and acceptable.
