Free as a Bird | Jan. 30th

"Blessed be the Lord, We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth."

Psalm 124:6,7 -8

Scripture warns us that we have an adversary. The enemy is like a roaring lion seeking to devour his prey. He is a deceiver, a tempter, and an accuser of God's children. We wrestle with the spirit of this age but not with our strength. The Bible commands us to be strong in the Lord and the power of His might and to put on the whole armor of God.

Ultimately, our hope is that the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth, has delivered us. Christ has destroyed the snare. Like birds, we have escaped from the snare through the power of God's grace and mercy. The victory is ours in Christ and we live in that freedom today. Let us remind ourselves that we are no longer in bondage. The Holy Spirit will help us in every hour of testing and temptation. Hold to the word of God and you will find strength.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
