Declare Your Praise.
Divine deliverance calls for praise. God forgave David for a grave sin; instead of letting him die, the Lord saved him. Tangibly tasting the Lord’s grace causes us to worship Him with abandon.
“You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in, she has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore, I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little loves little.” Luke 7:45-47
The sinful woman who anointed Jesus’ feet with oil had a checkered past. Receiving God’s forgiveness, she praised Him with her whole being. The disciples couldn’t understand why she acted like she did—those forgiven much love much, like David and this woman. Deep pits require more grace than shallow ones. These two examples show God saved David and the sinful woman from desperate places.
Declare God’s praise today; thank Him for pulling you out of the pit and placing you on solid ground. Each step draws us closer to the Lord and away from our sins. One day at a time, God heals our broken hearts and gives us new life in Him. One can’t help but praise the Lord when they taste His grace.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for pulling us out of the pit and giving us new life. Help us remember Your saving grace as we move through our days. Let us glorify You in all we do, giving You credit for our transformation. In all things, we honor and serve You. IJNIP. Amen
