Text:Psalm 72:14
"He will redeem their lives from oppression and violence; And precious shall be their blood in His sight".
God is indeed our Redeemer. When the Israelites cried under the burden of their oppressors in Egypt, He heard them and brought them out of Egypt by many signs and wonders. One thing evident about God's deliverance is that it is total and complete. When He arose to save the Israelites, he did it once and for all such that the Egyptians that had tormented them for years were totally destroyed just one day.
David was a man who knew what it was to be oppressed. An innocent boy through whom God displayed His awesome power and might, he suddenly became Saul's target for destruction. Each time he looked back from where he was to where God had taken him to, he was certain of God's awesome power to bring justice to the poor and break in pieces the oppressor.(Psalm 72:4).
It doesn't matter how long you've had to run from pillar to post trying to be secure from harm. Be rest assured that God has seen your plight and like He did for the Israelites, He will make a complete end of both oppressors and oppression in your life and family. He will reign as the Prince of peace and 'and make you far from oppression'(Isaiah 54:14).
Shalom
