HE Will

Reading from Jan. 23, 2009
Ex.6-8; Luke 23

TOPIC: Freedom

SCRIPTURE: " 'I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from the bondage. I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. Then I will take you for My people, and I will be your God; and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. I will bring you to the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give it to you for a possession; I am the LORD. ' " (Exodus 6:6-8)

OBSERVATION: God's promises in these verses were fulfilled to the letter when the Hebrews left Egypt. He freed them from slavery, became their God, and accepted them as his people. Then he led them toward the land he had promised. When the Hebrews were rescued from slavery, they portrayed the drama of salvation for all of us. When God redeems us from sin, he delivers us, accepts us, and becomes our God. Then he leads us to a new life as we follow him.
Small problems need only small problems. But when we face great problems, God has an opportunity to exercise his great power. As the Hebrews' troubles grew steadily worse, God planned to intervene with his mighty power and perform great miracles to deliver them. How big are your problems? Big problems put you in a perfect position to watch God give big answers. [Life Application Study Bible]

APPLICATION: I felt impressed to share these verses...

2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Ephesians 3:12In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

Colossians 2:6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him,

1 Corinthians 7:21Were you a slave when you were called? Don't let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so.

HE will set you free

IF

U

Will

But

Let

HIM

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank you for setting me free, help me now to walk in that freedom everyday!
