"My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn
of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—from violent
people you save me."
2 Samuel 22:3 (NIV)
Salvation is one of those churchy words
that we hear all of the time. A couple months ago, I learned a little bit more
about this word and God showed me something more.
Salvation comes from the same root as
the word salve. No matter how you pronounce this word, salve, it has a very
meaningful purpose and connects to the larger word, salvation. Salve is an
ointment or cream used over open wounds. Anything you put on an open wound is
going to be messy, but imagine that God's salvation works like an ointment over
our open wounds. His salvation provides a deep and permanent healing for us and
others. What an incredible gift! Permanent healing. Let us be thankful and
rejoice in God's salvation in our personal lives.
Take a moment to thank God for the
healing he has done in your life. Then, pray that God's salvation, or permanent
healing, would reach those around you, those in our community, those in our
nation, and those across the globe.
