Word of the Day: God wants to set you free today!
Often, we only truly value freedom when it's taken away from us. Sin and the devil seek to enslave us and prevent us from living the best of God's plans for our lives, but the Lord came to set us free from all evil. Believe in Jesus and ask Him to break every chain that hinders you from living for God! Be completely free in Christ!
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
John 8:36
Jesus is the one who can truly set you free. He has the power to release you from any bondage that might be hindering your growth in the Lord. The freedom that God gives us is internal, it brings light into our lives, brings much peace, and fills our hearts with joy.
13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Colossians 1:13-14
Is there something you need to be set free from today? Is there any fear in your heart or any attitude that prevents you from living in the total freedom that God desires for you? Go to the Lord! Open your heart to His work, let Him cleanse your being and fill you with His Holy Spirit. The Lord will hear your cry and bring the deliverance you need to live the abundant life He has for you. He does this all because he has loved you since before you were even born.
This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.Psalm 34:6
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 8:31-32

Do not surrender before your enemies
In Psalm 59, we see David’s deep frustration in the face of persecution by his enemies. Saul was seeking to kill him and kept him under close watch. David was troubled and prayed to God to deliver him from his enemies and bring him to a safe place. Have you ever felt that way cornered and hunted?
However, David turned to God. He poured out his heart to Him and brought his frustration before the Lord. We see that David even called his enemies "dogs." He was truly angry. Yet, David did not surrender to the power of those who sought to harm him. He continued to trust and wait for the manifestation of God’s power.
You are my strength, I watch for you;
you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.
God will go before me
and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
- Psalm 59:9–10
David knew that, sooner or later, God would bring justice. God was his defense, his strength, and David knew he could take refuge in Him while he waited.
Can you, like David, stand firm in the Lord amid life’s frustrations and sorrows? When we turn to God and fix our eyes on Him, our perspective shifts. Instead of focusing on our enemies, we see the greatness of the Lord and our spirit is renewed. And in that moment, we can boldly say, as David did:
But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.
You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.
- Psalm 59:16–17

Feel God's love in your life
In the words of The Beatles; 'All You Need Is Love'. It's true! Love gives us security, joy, and confidence, all because we know someone loves us and cares about us. And where can we find true and deep love? In Jesus!
Many get hurt seeking love and acceptance at any cost. It's unfortunate but, in this frantic search, we all too often encounter lies, betrayal, disdain, and abandonment... However, when we seek in Jesus Christ, we are embraced by unconditional and incomparable love.
9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
- 1 John 4:9-10
God is generous with his love; he doesn't demand anything in return. On the contrary, He has already given everything in advance! That's why don't just say God has love, we say he is love! He is the real love you seek. Moreover, at the foot of the cross, you will find more than love, you will also find meaning, acceptance, worth, understanding, and purpose.
When all other sources of love fail, Jesus' love is always present. He gave His life for you and will never abandon you! Jesus loves you; so make space in your heart for His love right now...
Put your faith in Jesus, and His love will always be with you!
