Isaiah 12:2-4 (NIV):

“Surely God is my salvation;
    I will trust and not be afraid.
The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense;
    he has become my salvation.”
With joy you will draw water
    from the wells of salvation.

In that day you will say:

Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
    make known among the nations what he has done,
    and proclaim that his name is exalted.

Ephesians 2:10 – We were saved in the past.

1 Corinthians 1:18 – We are being saved in the present.

Romans 13:11 – We will be saved in the future.

If you take away your salvation focus, your life will crumble.

In today’s world, how do Christians stay afloat?

Psalm 103:1-5

Challenge this week: write down all the benefits of your salvation.

Exalt Him in your prayer life – spend time in prayer focused on praise.

Deuteronomy 8:10-20 – Don’t forget God.

2 Chronicles 32:24-26 – Pride in ourselves.

“Write our complaints in the marble.”

(1) He forgives all our sins.

(2) He heals all our diseases.

(3) He redeems us from the pit (Psalm 16:9-11; Psalm 49:7-15).

(4) He crowns us with love and compassion.
