Isaiah 61:1-7
There are many things
that have happened to us in the past. We have memories we would sooner forget
and some of those occurrences still haunt us to this day. Some of us are unable
to confidently move on in life because of something that happened some time
ago, either in the near or distant past.
A huge ship takes
quite a long time to turn, as does an eighteen-wheel trailer. It is much bigger
and is capable of carrying massive loads. A small boat turns much faster and
easier but can only carry light loads. The human spirit can carry immense
weights, some of it much larger than the actual body size of the owner. That’s
why a twelve year old girl can carry a lot of anger and bitterness over the
father who gave her out to be married by someone fifty years older than her.
What is that thing
that still binds you in the past? How can you begin to allow God to release you
from it? He who the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36). Have you been to
the cross lately? Have you given up your hurts to the Master? He is well and
truly able to release you from the captivity of your past.
