Rejoice in Our Salvation
Scripture 1 Sam 2:1 And Hannah prayed and said: “My heart rejoices in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.
Observation: No matter what happens here on earth we should always rejoice because of the salvation that is coming. There is nothing that can happen to us that can compare to the salvation Jesus has given us. We are going to have an eternity of pure joy because of the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior. This should give us all the strength that we need, our heart should rejoice every day, there isn’t a person in this place that can dampen our love, because no matter what happens we know how the story ends.
Application: I should never let my anxiety get the best of me, as a matter of fact I should use any opportunity especially the darkest ones to bring my Lord glory. When people see my hope and that I can rejoice in bad times, this will give me the opportunity to show others the power of my God. I can tell others then that I rejoice, because no matter what happens to me here my Lord is with me now and I’ll be with Him forever.
Prayer: My Lord I thank you for your love, mercy, grace and for my salvation. May I never forget the price that was paid by you for that precious gift, a gift I can never repay. Help me show others of your unending love and mercy and that they too can rejoice in your love. I love you Lord and look forward to the day to be with you forever.
