Many would tell you that we are living in times of trials and heartaches. Even so, there are individuals that appear to be free of the impact of the challenges. You probably know at least one individual who seems to be thriving in these times. The thing is . . . it is possible . . . to live free of pressures and problems in difficult places of living. The key to living in any place at any time is to intentionally break free of whatever oppresses us through the power of God. Regardless of how tough it seems, God will take us to the place of absolute freedom.
In the ancient days, God not only planned for the people to get out of the place of bondage but to enter a place of promised freedom. So. God led the people: Then the angel of God, who had been leading the people of Israel,moved to the rear of the camp. The pillar of cloud also moved from the front and stood behind them. (Exodus 14: 19, NLT) God will free us from bondage, allowing to experience the divine gift of the fullness of freedom.
The activity of God is revealed in Exodus 14 . . . God is always at work on our behalf . . . but . . . God is often missed. We must make a decision to have faith in God's continual work. There is freedom from the power of circumstances when we have faith that God is present and continually at work rather than somewhere far away. We are often our own greatest obstacle to getting to the place of complete freedom. Unbelief is the most common reason. But, God will empower us to believe if we ask.
Go to the place of freedom.
Confess your need of God as the Psalmist did: God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand.
I'm an open book to you;
even from a distance, you know what I'm thinking.
You know when I leave and when I get back;
I'm never out of your sight.
You know everything I'm going to say
before I start the first sentence.
I look behind me and you're there,
then up ahead and you're there, too—
your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful—
I can't take it all in! (Psalm 139: 1-6, The Message).
Ask God to take you to the place of freedom.
Go where God says to go.
Experience freedom.
