Jonah 2:9 New Living Translation (NLT)

 But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise,
    and I will fulfill all my vows.
    For my salvation comes from the Lord alone.”



Notes:

The promises of God are for those who have already been set free: those who have believed Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It doesn't mean that everything will go well as what you are expecting it to be.

Look at the Israelites. They were set free from Egypt. Their slavery was broken as they received the promise of God. However, as they were heading to the promise land, went after them. So, freedom from slavery doesn't mean a comfortable life. But it is a life with God's peace despite of all the troubles chasing after you.

Sadly, some of them chose not to cling to God. They clung to their own understanding and desired to go back to their past life, to go back to slavery.

Freedom means living with God. It means following what God wants and not ours. True freedom is in God.



Prayer:

Papa God, thank you for the freedom you have brought back to us. Though we don't deserve it because we chose to be slaves, you still chose to love us and restore us. We ask for your forgiveness Lord for our transgressions. Please dear God. Do not allow us to hurt your heart even more. Help us to obey and follow you. Lead us to your care and love. Thank you our loving and sweet Father in Heaven. In Jesus Name, Amen.
