God continues to make all things new–including me.  Yesterday I had the conversation I needed with Kathy.  It was good to have done so.  I’m always amazed when these times come to find just how intimately personal God is with us.  He cares deeply for us but waits for us to be fully ready to understand Him, obey Him, hear Him or whatever is in the present situation.

Today I was reading in Exodus where the Israelites left Egypt after the night where God killed the first born of man and animal.  The Israelites had sacrificed the lamb and put the blood on the side posts and the cross bar above the door to their homes.  There was a footnote at this point written by Joyce Meyer.  She says that this was God’s old covenant with the Israelites.  Today we are freed from death by Christ’s shed blood on the Cross.  This is the new covenant.  She says to pray and conceptualize Christ’s blood purifying your mind, your soul, your body and spirit.  Along with it, purify whatever may torment you right now or have you in bondage.  It was good to read this and act on it.  I know my sins are forgiven by Christ’s shed blood but it is refreshing to be reminded of this freedom especially following the action God had me take in talking with Kathy yesterday.

God is the same God today as was with Moses when He led the Israelites out of Egypt.  Today He wants to lead us out of any bondage that may be gripping us.  Let Him do this if you are struggling in any way.  God is the Only True God and Christ’s work on the Cross of Calvary is the provider of freedom waiting for each of us.
