Are You Trapped?

Have you ever felt trapped?

It may have been a job, a decision you made, or one that was made for you. Whatever the circumstance, you feel like a prisoner. Perhaps even like a wild caged animal fighting to get out, yet only wearing down your claws on the immovable metal bars. Confined, helpless, desperate: Trapped.

As Christians we know about the freedom of salvation. We've learned that we have been set free. Our minds know this, but how often do we take that knowledge to our hearts? Have you ever wept with joy over your freedom? It is possible to feel free. Yes, you are in the same job. Yes, there are still the consequences of past choices. Yes, you still have "X" around to annoy the daylights out of you. But you are free.

Do you believe that?

Christ has liberated us into freedom. Therefore stand firm and son't submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:1


I pray today that the Lord Jesus Christ fills you with the joy of your freedom. We are new creatures in Him. Creatures who have been set free from the yoke of sin, fear of death, judgement, and condemnation. You are free if you have become a slave of Christ Jesus. It sounds messed up, but He knows the essence of how this works, and when you entrust Him with everything, you'll discover how true it is. To gain your life you must loose it. Gain freedom today.
