"THE LORD OF HOSTS IS HIS NAME." He is a wonderful Redeemer who is also our next of kin. No one is so closely related to us as the Lord Jesus. He gave His life a ransom for us. He sent His Holy Spirit to rescue us from our spiritual enemies. One day His almighty power will raise us from the dead, and complete our redemption. What He undertook He will accomplish, for He is almighty. What He has promised He will perform, for He is faithful. We shall be completely delivered: from Satan who once held us captive; from sin, which tyrannised over us; from death, the last enemy to be defeated; and from hell, which we justly deserved. Our Redeemer is all powerful, therefore let us place our confidence in Him; let us look to Him alone for deliverance from our foes and fears; let us never dishonour Him by supposing that He will allow our enemies to triumph over us. He quickened us when dead in trespasses and sins, and He will perfect that which concerns us, for He will not forsake the work of His own hands. Our Redeemer is strong, the Lord of Hosts is His name: He will throughly plead our cause.

For Meditation:
Jesus our Saviour in Thee
We a wonderful Redeemer have;
Strong to set Thy people free,
Omnipotent and mighty to save.
