Let God’s Redeemed Say So
What are you speaking over your life today? Are your words reflecting God’s promises—or just your problems? All of us face tough seasons: loss, sickness, disappointment, financial strain, broken relationships. But Scripture reminds us that God delivers us out of all our troubles (Psalm 34:6). And because of that, the Bible says the redeemed—those who belong to God—should declare it boldly (Psalm 107:2).
Aretha Franklin sang it perfectly in 1962: “Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive, eliminate the negative and latch on to the affirmative but don't mess with mister in between.” That message is as relevant today as ever. God tells us the same thing—set your focus on things above, not on earthly problems (Colossians 3:2).
So, what are we choosing to highlight? God’s goodness—or our temporary struggles? Are we trusting that God is working everything together for our good, or are we speaking defeat over our own lives? As Eric Thomas puts it, “If you can look up, you can get up.”
And when we get up, we can confidently speak the truth: With God, nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37). God wants us to see ourselves the way He sees us. In His eyes, we are seated in heavenly places. We are overcomers. We are healed, blessed, protected, and equipped to live victorious lives. Our families are blessed. Our steps are ordered. Our lives have purpose.
So let the redeemed of the Lord say so! Declare what God has done. Speak life, victory and faith. We can bless His holy name—because He has done great things.
