You ARE a SLAVE, but the bonds may be broken!!!

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
    How are you, today, oh servant of the Most High God?  What do you think when you hear the word "servant"?  Someone lowly, caring for others, a butler, a maid, a housekeeper, lawnman, someone who is low in education, someone who has committed an offense and can do nothing but a lowly servant job?
   Look at Leviticus 26: King James Version (KJV)  ¹³ I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
   New International Version (NIV)  ¹³ I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high.
   God is talking to His people.  Imagine being a slave and then set free.  What joy!! God tells them "I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD" and He took them out of a bitter slavery, gave them freedom and dignity.
   God broke the bonds of slavery - which He can do in each of us.  You are a slave to something, you just have to acknowledge where you are a slave.  It may be drugs, alcohol, anger, hypocrisy, attitude, lust, envy, lying, cheating, stealing, or whatever.  We all are a slave to something.
    We do not need to be bogged down in shame over our past or present sins, we can walk with dignity because God has forgiven s and forgotten them.  The problem lies in the fact we don't walk to leave our sins at God's feet, we pick them up again and carry them.  God says "no mas"  "no more" just let go.
   Israel still walked in the danger of returning to a slave mentality, we do also and we need to shed ourselves of this just by giving it all over to God and forgetting about it.
    Beware of the temptation to return to our former slave, former sinful ways, and remain in constant prayer, giving everything over to God.
   Be alert, look around, listen to God and prosper, O ye, child of God.  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
