Praise Focus-Rescued

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Praise Focus is found in Exodus 18:9 to 11.

There was a conversation between Moses and his father-in-law Jethro. Moses was reporting about the hardships that the Israelites had faced on their way to the Promised Land and how the LORD had saved them.

Jethro responded with delight about all the good things the LORD had done for Israel. He said, “Praise be to the LORD, who rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and of Pharoah, and who rescued the people from the hand of the Egyptians. Now I know that the LORD is greater than all other gods.”

This is how a testimony of a changed life can reflect the good news of Jesus Christ. In whatever way that God has set us free from some kind of slavery, whether it’s addiction or legalism, that is a testimony worth sharing, so that others may be persuaded of the power of the Gospel to save us from sin and lead us to freedom.

The Rescue Plan of the Gospel is a reason to praise God in the Year of Focus.
