No Longer Bound

October 02, 2025

"And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me." Exodus 8:1

The children of Israel were forced to work under harsh conditions in Egypt. They had no say in what would happen to them or how it would happen, they just had to do whatever Pharaoh said for them to do. The Lord saw their plight and knew they were His people and He was not going to allow them to continue to stay in such harsh conditions. The Lord gave Pharaoh every opportunity to let His people go, but Pharaoh did not believe in the power of The Lord. There are some things that may have us bound, and we may be in some harsh conditions, but just like The Lord saw the circumstances of the children of Israel, He sees ours as well. I encourage you today that no matter what it is you may go through, to know without a doubt The Lord sees your situation, and He will come and see about you. Just like He sent Moses to tell Pharaoh to let His people go, the same Lord will tell your situation to let you go, so you can serve Him. The Lord does not want anything to hinder you from serving Him. He does not want your circumstances or your situations to have you so bound you cannot worship or praise Him. The Lord wants you to be free so you can do the things He has called you to do. Do not let things get you so bound where you cannot serve The Lord. Look at your situation and tell it, "The Lord said let me go so I can serve Him!" Your situation will have no choice but to let you go, because The Lord will make sure you are free to serve Him. Just like He delivered the children of Israel, The Lord will deliver you. I know The Lord will deliver me so everything that has me bound has to let me go so I can serve The Lord, this is why I know for sure, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, thank you that you are always there for me to look to when trials and tribulations come my way. I know that whatever tries to hold me will have to let me go so I can continue to serve you. Lord, help me to walk in your will for my life every day. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
