I hope everyone had a great Holiday. My family and I enjoyed a wonderful hike with friends yesterday. Part of our hike came to an overlook. A rock that jetted out of the mountain as you overlook the Cumberland Plateau in TN. It was amazing and a beautiful reminder of how creative and divine our Creator is. Standing on the edge of the rocks I was reminded of freedom, my freedom in Christ and how it takes my breath away.
I would like to kick things of this week with not a feeling but a state of being. Sometimes our perspective can influence who we are and how we react to situations.
freedom (from dictionary.com)
1. the condition of being free; the power to act or speak or think without externally imposed restraints
2. immunity from an obligation or duty
Isaiah 61:1-3
Exaltation of the Afflicted
1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
Because the LORD has anointed me
To bring good news to the afflicted;
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to captives
And freedom to prisoners;
2To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
3To grant those who mourn in Zion,
Giving them a garland instead of ashes,
The oil of gladness instead of mourning,
The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting
So they will be called oaks of righteousness,
The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
Please pray for Julz Y this week.
