“Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson? Who is this, robed in splendor, striding forward in the greatness of his strength? “It is I, proclaiming victory, mighty to save.”
Isaiah gives us an image in chapter 63, a victorious figure coming from Edom with garments stained crimson, robed in splendor, and walking in strength. When asked who He is, the answer was simple and powerful, “It is I, proclaiming victory, mighty to save.” This is not a distant God. This is the Lord stepping forward in authority and already victorious. From the very beginning, God makes it clear that salvation has always been His work, not ours.
Because God is mighty to save, we can pray with boldness. Bold prayer is not demanding that our will be done, but it’s trusting that the One who created the universe can do far more than we can ask, think, or imagine. (Ephesians 3:20) This does not mean God becomes a vending machine for our desires. It does mean we approach Him without fear, without shrinking back, and without doubting His power. Fortune favors the bold, and this truth applies to our prayer life as well.
There is also freedom found in remembering who does the saving. God is the Savior, not you or me. That truth alone should lift a weight off your shoulders today. You were never meant to carry the pressure of fixing everything, rescuing everyone, or holding the world together. Do what you can with faithfulness and obedience, then give the rest to God. He is mighty to save through Jesus, and He does it far better than we ever could.
Prayer: Lord, I thank you for your great power today. I thank you for saving me and giving me a purpose in Christ. I could have never done what you did on the cross, so I take the pressure off of myself to be my own savior. You do it way better. For that, I give you the praise forever. In Jesus name, amen.
