How Many Times Has God Saved You

Love you all, praying for you,

I just love God’s Word.  It tells of the God who saves.  The greatest Salvation is what Jesus bought for you.  His death for your sins, so you through faith can be eternally saved from outer darkness forever, to eternity with God in heaven.   But once your faith in Christ secures this Salvation forever, God also brings you Salvation right here on earth.  His Salvation down here – is also every time God delivers or rescues you from something beyond your control, greater than your strength, wisdom, or understanding.  Anytime God saves you from something bigger than you… He is showing you His Salvation.  And He shows it day after day!  Why?  Because He is the God who saves!   Is that awesome or what?   Every time He comes to your aid, that is His salvation, His deliverance.  It’s Him rescuing you when you call.  God mentions salvation one-hundred and sixty four times, in one hundred and fifty eight verses.  Genesis 49:18 – I have waited for your salvation, O LORD.  So wait, be patient, it's coming!  Exodus 14:13 – And Moses said to the people, Do not fear, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD which He will show you today.  For the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again.  Sometimes we just need to stand still, stop striving, worrying, or trying to work things out on our own.  And let Him do what He does best – the God stuff – He saves.  That’s just what He does – because it’s who He is.  What are you trying to save in your life right now?  Would you be better off to leave the saving to Him?  Is there anything you need to let go of?  Is there anything you need to stand still and see Him do?  Is there anything you need to trust Him for, instead of try more?  Praying that you will do everything God tells you to do, and when you’ve done all – to stand.  And when He saves you – which He promised He will, He has always done, and will do for the rest of your life, when He does it again...  Praying that you will thank Him for it, and praise Him for it.  Praying that you will give your testimony – as an offering of praise, and a weapon to overcome with.  One great thing about testimonies – they have no shelf life.  They work as good the tenth time as the first time.  His Salvation will reach you today.  If you stand still and see what God will do...  If you do the first step that He told you, and let Him do the rest.  He will show you His Salvation day after day!  Praying that you will see His Salvation, and when He does, as He always does – you will praise Him for it, and remember it.  So you can tell of His salvation again, though you know not it’s measure.  He has more coming!  He’s just faithful like that…
