Today’s Verse:
"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." 2 Corinthians 3:17
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
Remember there was a credit card advertisement, starring Richard Gere who set free some huge volumes of birds, for the recovery hope of a little girl's brother? What a scene? How great will it be if all of us were also set free from our troubles, worries, sickness, problems, trials and all everyday life issues through the grace of You, Lord?!
In contrast, some birds were too reluctant to their lives, that even when they were set free, they remained in their cages. Though the owner tried to shoo them into the air, they just landed a few yards away and looked for opportunities to head back into their cages. We may think "Stupid birds! They seemed to be free, yet their souls are being imprisoned."
Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:34-36 NIV). How many people are still in their "invisible prison of sin"? They sinned but the guilt trapped them from within, even after they confested, repented, redeemed by You, Lord, they still tossed and turned in the night, they still couldn't sleep, they still couldn't turn away from their thought away from the "what if...what if..."
Father, Jesus came and has set us free from all our sins, help us to be strong to accept His gift and allow us to enjoy our true freedom in His mercy. Father, our lives are being redeemed by the blood of Christ, may we spend the remaining of our lives walking in Your will.
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
