RESCUE
December 10, 2023
It will be a sign and witness to the Lord Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the Lord because of their oppressors, He will send them a Savior and Defender, and He will rescue them.
Isaiah 19:20
Thought
Now search your heart, and ask whether you believe that God is your God, Father, Savior, and Deliverer, who wants to rescue you. (Martin Luther)
Song
"Come, O Redeemer, Come"
1. Father, enthroned on high
Holy, holy!
Ancient eternal Light
Hear our prayer.
[CHORUS]
Come, O Redeemer, come;
Grant us mercy.
Come, O Redeemer, come;
Grant us peace.
2. Lord, save us from the dark
Of our striving,
Faithless, troubled hearts
Weighed down.
[CHORUS]
3. Look now upon our need;
Lord, be with us.
Heal us and make us free
From our sin.
[CHORUS]
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I believe and proclaim with all of my heart that You have truly rescued me through Christ my Sure Redeemer. Thank You for the deliverance that came when He was born, and thank You for the deliverance that will come when He returns. Through Him I pray to You. Amen.
