FREEDOM!!!

So, I have recently started reading the Bible cover to cover in 90 days and I found myself in the book of Exodus today confronted with an amazing truth. God desires freedom for His people!!! So often we read the Bible and think of it as a collection of old stories, but I believe that those stories hold deep truth about the reality of the world. I was reading, and I was overwhelmed with the idea that God heard the Israelites in Egypt and worked so many different miracles for them to be free!!! He cared for them, and desired to liberate them from their oppressive existence, which makes me wonder why so many people who claim to be "the people of God" are still stuck in captivity...

The God who so desperately longed to free the Israelites, sent His son Jesus Christ that we would know what freedom was, and not just physical freedom, but freedom from sin and death. What a beautiful gift we have been given. We have the opportunity to live freely in relationship with the God of the universe!!! It also excites me and gives me passion for the work that I will have the opportunity to do in Cambodia, when I get to be an active agent for freedom there!!! I praise God that He has given us freedom and I hope that today you find freedom in Him!
