Freedom

You laugh at the Isrealites just freed from bondage, just stepping from the sea parted by God, just taken out of slavery by God's power shown through signs and wonders.You laugh because they've forgotten, while there backs still ache from slavery they whine and complain of the toils of a road of freedom, they've forgotten the power of the God that led them there.
But tell me, why do you laugh? Hasn't God freed you from your bondage? Hasn't he set you free? Free from sin. Free from the law. Free from your past and everything that binds you to your old life. Yet you aren't free. You, like the Isrealites, are a stiff-necked people, God has broken the chains yet you sit willingly in your dungeon, you forget the power of God. You may pray, may read your Bible, may worship God, but when that moment is over you fall so quickly back into your old ways. With your actions you cry out, "We were better off in Egypt!"
Do you not understand? Are you so quick to forget the power of God? If the Son shall make you free, you are free indeed! Do not worry what other think of you. Do not worry about your struggles and cares. Let go of your old life. Cast your cares upon God. For He loves you, and He cares for you.
