There is always something special about the early morning. I love to get up early and tap into God’s presence. It seems as though everyone else is asleep and I get to have God all to myself.
This morning I was once again reminded of a powerful scripture that has always been special for me. 2Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Our liberty is so precious, particularly when we recognize the source of true liberty. We are not only free to embrace liberty in those special moments when God’s manifest presence is so clear, we are privileged to recognize liberty in every waking moment.
As I meditate on the concept of liberty I am seeing liberty as the absence of bondage. I speak for myself when I recognize my own self imposed bondage when my attention turns to what I don’t have. In reality we are blessed with unlimited abundance. Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Spending time with the Lord is like spending time in complete liberty. All the bondage is gone and there is nothing in this world that can hold back God’s blessings when we simply surrender to His Spirit.
Prayer:
Lord thank you for your presence, for your Spirit, and for your liberty. Thank you for your provision in every area of my life. Thank you for removing the burden of my own efforts to lift the weight of my daily challenges.
I give it all to you. I trust you, and I will share with others the gifts that you have so freely given.
Lord bless all you read this message and wrap them in the liberty that only you can provide.
Amen.
Be Blessed in all of you doing.

Great article. Right on the mark. So many people are living in bondage because they are focused on what they don't have, rather than living in the blessing that is promised by God.
