The hebrews… the Jewish nation is under slavery by the Egyptians for 430 hundreds years… I believe,

They are crying out for deliverance and God sends Moses… and you get the plagues… but why should God get them out?

When Moses goes to Pharaoh he tells them let my people go… but why? 

Quick question… why should God get you out of your problems? Do you believe he cares and that he can? Do you believe he can take you out of your slavery to financial hardship… can he take you out of slavery to your health problems… out of your slavery to Relationship challenges…

Most people feel like they are a slave to something…

But why should God set you free?

Its a good question and the answer is clear in scripture… God speaks through Moses to Pharaoh and says “Let my people go so that they may serve me”.  Not worship… (as some translations use that word… and to some degree it makes sense, but I can’t get into that right now) you can worship God in any circumstance - nothing can stop you from worshiping God, not even slavery. But to serve him him… The idea is to use all your energy, resources, time, money etc… to be able to serve God using all of who you are. 

So when you are a slave in Egypt, you are worked to the bone, you are drained emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically. Have you ever truly been so tired so wiped out that going to Church on a Sunday almost seems overwhelming… or being involved in serving in a ministry on Tuesday night or Saturday… seems taxing. you have fallen again into a form of spiritual slavery… 

I believe one of the fastest prayers answered is God allow me to serve you more with my resources… time, money, energy, health, education, relationships… what ever seems to be holding you down and enslaving you - help break this bondage of slavery to my circumstances so that I might serve you. God wanted his people free to serve him, he wants you free to serve him. God did the impossible to free his people so that they could serve him, he will do the same for you if that is your motive.

Pray today “God set me free so that I may sever you’ and watch God send his freedom.
