Psalm 103:4 – who (the Lord) redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy
Four women indicated in the genealogy of Jesus (Mt 1:1–16) (Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba), were women who had questionable backgrounds. Yet, it was from the line of these women that the Messiah came, being born of the Virgin Mary.
So what is God telling us? He is telling us that He is greater than our sins—where sin abounds, His grace abounds much more (Romans 5:20). His grace is greater than our sins, so that even when the world disqualifies us, He can qualify us, by His grace, to receive His blessings!
God is also saying that He is a God of many chances. These women’s stories show us that even when our troubles are of our own making, they are neither final nor fatal. When we turn to Him, He will turn our situations around until we see His glory upon us!
Finally, God is saying that He is a God of supernatural favours. Even when all our earthly positions fade out, the moment we turn to Him, He will find ways to turn our bondages into blessings.
Don’t look at your natural circumstances and be discouraged. Trust the One “who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy”
Thought for the day!
Trust Him who qualifies the disqualified! When we return to Him, He can qualify us, by His grace, to receive His blessings!
