That first step is a doozy

I saw this video today.

It occurs to me that sometimes, God frees us and it isn’t easy. He frees us from rules, schedules and expectations. Our natural response? To stay in our rules, schedules and to keep a close list of others’ expectations.

As you go through the next two weeks, and the burdens of life weigh down, know that God has gone before you.  In every conversation, He has a purpose. In ever encounter, He has planned an outcome. In every difficult time, He is not surprised. He has gone before you and provided a way for you to walk in power, love and peace.

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,Luke 4:18

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1
