Hi, and welcome to the Five Word Prayers Daily, a five day a week daily devotional where we share the word, prayers, in our heart.

I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be five minutes well spent.

It's Friday, and the weekend is here.

I don't know why, but I just feel like saying today, I won't keep you on here long because for some reason I feel like you're like me

and have already started the weekend countdown celebration. We love the Friday five around here,

five random things to break up the week of inspiration. And all this week, we've been talking

redemption and second chances. And today, it's all about some power verses. Yeah, my top five favorite, or at least

some of my favorite redemption verses in the Bible, to start this weekend off right. You ready?

Let's go. So let's dive right in, because I love when we get right to the word to inspire us.

Top five five or favorite

five, I guess you could say, redemption verses. Number one, a favorite redemption power verse is

Ephesians 1-7. In him, we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins,

according to the riches of his grace. So much packed in here, but the core of redemption and

second chances and really just our chance at all to live is found in this one verse,

his death on the cross for our salvation. Without that, there's really no need for any other

redemption in life is there. And that's in the ESV. By the way, we're linking all these verses in the show notes, so you can go back

and look them up later for yourself.

Number two, power verse, Isaiah 4422, I have swept away your sins like a cloud.

I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist.

Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.

How gorgeous is this verse? Soak that one in,

friends. For anyone feeling condemnation, this is a powerful verse. It's a redemption verse. God has the power
