John 8:36 NKJV) “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
The Israelites had been set free from slavery. Moses brought them out of Egypt to take them on a journey to go to a new land; the land which God had promised them.
It happened by way of miracles that God performed through Moses to get them out from under the hand of Pharaoh. God performed miracles time after time to get Pharaoh to let His people go!
When the people of Israel were released, they were happy and excited at first. But, as time went on. they found things to complain and murmur about. Even the miracles that God did for them weren’t not good enough anymore. In their discontent, they actually wanted to go back to Egypt, the land that God set them free from!
Are we feeling the same way today? Has God set us free from our Egypt? It could have been our friends or family that hurt us or took advantage of us, jobs that caused us stress, debt, addictions, our lack of knowledge in certain areas, etc. Are we longing to go back because maybe the new things aren’t as easy and the grass isn’t as GREEN as we thought it would be?
When Jesus sets us free He promises that WE are free indeed! We can’t let our flesh cause us to go back, no matter how hard it may fight us. We need to stay strong, letting God lead us to the promised land which He has for us.
You will see it is all worth it!!
