July · Day 192 of 365

Free to Love

Freedom in Christ

Scripture
I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.
Psalm 118:5 (KJV)

Reflection

The bands that bound you are broken. Psalm 118:5 sings it: "I called upon the Lord in distress…" The Lord delights in setting captives free. Whatever still seems to hold you, name it before Him today and ask for the freedom Christ has already won. He is faithful to finish what He has started.

Prayer

Holy Spirit, lead me into deeper freedom today — freedom to love, to forgive, to rejoice. Amen.

Thought for the Day

Where might I be condemning myself when Christ has not?
