Sunday, July 4, 2019, and my two nephews were supposed to have moved out. Both of them are in their late teens, and it’s at that age where I guess they need to go out on their own. Sort of leaving the nest. And that reminded me of our spiritual state. We think that when we go on our own way, we think that we are being independent. But in reality, we are slave to our passions, our desires. But most of all, we are actually slave to our master, the evil one. The Bible says, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lust of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” (John 8:44). And that is the sad irony of life. When we think we are free, in reality, we aren’t. The only time we can really be free is when we surrender our lives, our will to the ONE who can really set us free, “If the SON (the LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS) therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36).
