Bondage Or Free ?? -- Your Choice !!

Have been trying to post here for over a week, life keeps interrupting me. will get this done before our trip to the hospital for my husbands surgery in the morning. Keep us in your Prayers. Children of Israel were in the bondage of slavery for many years in Egypt. Their daily needs were met in exchange for hard labor of building for the Pharaoh. They saw no way out and they took on a victim mentality. God sent Moses to rescue them from the bondage of slavery, He brought them out with the intention of bringing them into something much better. The Bible says, " A Land of Milk and Honey". They would no longer be in bondage, they would be free. On their journey to this land once again all their daily needs were met, this time by God in exchange for trusting Him. When they saw the Army of Pharaoh chasing them, they were full of fear and thought to surrender. They grew tired of the diet of manna that God provided for them and began to murmur and complain, again to the point of thinking maybe they should turn back to Egypt ! Their physical state was in freedom, in their mind and emotions they were still in bondage, a victim mentality. They transferred their dissatisfaction from the Pharaoh to God. Their seeing giants in the land that God had already given them cost them of entering into the Promised Land that God had for them. They wandered in The Wilderness for 40 years, with only Joshua and Caleb entering in. We are not much different today, Some of us have been victims not by choice, over the years we take on the mental and emotional status of a victim . God intervenes when we call on Him, He rescues us from our bondage of sin and sets us free. He wants to move us into something better, leave behind the sin of the past life. We like this new freedom until He begins to ask for something in return, our life is no longer out own to do as we please, it has been bought and paid for with the precious blood of Jesus. There are some giants in this new life, some real, some in our imagination, too often we retreat back into the very things that God brought us out of. Why ?? fear of the unknown, not trusting that God does have only the best for us, too little faith to believe we can become survive in this new life.There must be a transfer in our mind to move out and stay out of the whatever it was that held us captive to allow God to be in control. To begin to see ourselves as God sees us, not as grasshoppers being trampled beneath the feet of the giants, but as Soldiers in a mighty Army that God has called and put together. To believe that God has a plan and a future for us of good and not of evil, (Jeremiah 29v11). This is the same promise God has for us today. Do not allow yourself to wander in the Wilderness for 10,20, 30 years, always questioning why, not believing that He has a Promised Land for you HERE AND NOW !! Begin to see yourself as God sees you !! Until next time, " Keep Your Eyes On Jesus" !
