Freedom

I sing praises to the Lord for his great victory! ~ Exodus 15:1 (CEV)

If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. ~ John 8:36 (CEV)

Lord, I want to join in your victory song. For you have certainly won our freedom. Sometimes I still think like a slave. It's hard to adjust to being free. But you stick with us. You continue to nudge us forward into greater freedom. So, I pray that your Hold Spirit would work in my head and heart today. Help me to live as the free person I am. I leave behind all the chains and constraints which belonged to my past. And I bask in the freedom that Christ the Son has won through his death on the cross and victory over the grave. Amen.
