So Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
Exodus 10:3 (NKJV)
We long for liberation, we fight for it, passionately and aggressively, we pursue it with every ounce of strength that we have, and eventually we become overcomers, we scale the hurdles and overcome the obstacles. Now with freedom and liberation comes responsibilities. It is the liberty to worship, praise and serve the Living God. Freedom to bring sacrifices of praise, the power to show forth the glory of God in our lives to the world. This liberation did not come cheap, it actually cost the blood of the Lamb, the Son of God.
For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.
1 Peter 2:15-16 (NKJV)
The liberty is for service to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It was never intended to satisfy self but to serve Him unencumbered who lives forever more.
Be encouraged,
