PRAISE GOD FOR SALVATION

Date: Monday, May 09, 2022

Bible Text: Jonah 2:1-9

Memory Verse: ‘But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say “Salvation comes from the LORD.’” Jonah 2:9, NIV

Akeem was raised a Muslim in his home until his mid-20s. When he came to faith in Jesus, he was driven away from his home and community. Today, he uses his music and drama skills to share his faith with others. Recently he saw a group of university students packed tightly in a room at the University. The student body is 98% Muslims. Akeem joined them saying simply, “I am a story-teller.” His audience was immediately attentive, with his sonorous voice, he shared his conversion experience and praised God for his salvation with his music. Souls were harvested.

Like Akeem who sings and praises God for his salvation, the Bible passage for today’s devotion is Jonah’s song of thanksgiving for deliverance from death in the sea. Jonah recalls his prayer for help as he was sinking into the depths. His gratitude is heightened by his knowledge that he deserved death but that God had shown him extraordinary mercy.

In everything you must give thanks and praise to God. Have you praised God for your salvation today? Under your salvation lies everything you need to praise God on daily basis – grace, spiritual wealth, spiritual gifts, ultimate sanctification, forgiveness of sins, protection from evil, divine provision.

Insight: Salvation is from God only.

Prayer: O LORD, let your praises continually be in my mouth.

RBT Passage: 2 Chronicles 5-7
