Redeemed for More: God’s Call on Your Day
Some mornings feel like they start on their own. Life rushes forward, and we scramble to jump on the moving escalator without tripping. But before we get swept along, it’s worth pausing to remember: the world we live in is broken. Since the very first sin, everything has borne its marks—alienation, sickness, death. The decay is everywhere.
Yet God, in His mercy, stepped in. Jesus gave His life as a ransom (Mark 10:45), redeeming us from spiritual slavery and rescuing us from that downward path. So don’t just wake up and sprint into the day. Stop. Receive your redemption with gratitude. Lift your eyes to your eternal hope in Christ, and give thanks.
Redemption, however, is only the beginning. You have also been reconciled. The barrier of sin that once separated you from God has been torn down. No longer do you walk alone—God is with you, and in you. Spiritually united with Him, like a covenant marriage, you’ve died to the exhausting burden of independent living. Your new life is lived in step with your Father, in peace and agreement with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17).
So don’t charge into your day without first connecting with God. Take time to realign your heart, your priorities, and your schedule with His will. Rejoice in the intimacy of His presence.
And there’s more: God not only redeems and reconciles—He also restores. He invites you to join Him in His ongoing work of renewal. As you walk joyfully in agreement with Him, He uses you to bring restoration to others and to creation itself. You’ll begin to discern what love looks like in each situation, and you’ll be empowered to act and speak in harmony with His purposes. In doing so, you release His power to undo the works of the devil (1 John 3:8) and to strengthen the Kingdom through relationships and structures marked by His love.
This is a high calling—but it is yours in Christ. So today, don’t just rush into the noise and busyness. Slow down. Sit with God. Let Him refresh your perspective. Listen for His direction. Step forward with His power and purpose for the day ahead.
You have been redeemed, reconciled, and restored—not only for your sake, but to carry this life-giving process forward. Hallelujah! Walk in it today.
With you,
~ Coach Tom
