Think about how chains hold things down, how they can weigh so much. Chains are made strong to be able to secure things but they are also used to bind things or hold things down. When I was thinking about this devotional it comes at a time to think about how Jesus Christ is the man who frees us from the chains of sins. Jesus Christ is our true Chain breaker, below is a short devotional that I hope will encourage you in your walk with Christ or as you begin your walk with Christ.
Have you ever thought or been through an experience of feeling hopeless in the midst of being down a really dark life path.There are these lies that Satan tells us of hopelessness saying that we are too far gone from God for him to even find you. And it may feel like it is an impossible feat to believe there could be a better life. Have you ever felt this way? In Daniel 6, things were stacked against Daniel. He went against the king’s decree and was punished by being thrown into a den with lions. Do you think that Daniel felt scared? He wouldn’t be human if he weren’t! Do you think that Daniel felt hopeless? He was in a sealed den with lions! This story parallels what so many of us experience. Life can throw us into situations that feel insurmountable, that there is no way out, and that we’re so far gone it will be impossible to believe in a better life. God sent an angel to protect Daniel from the lions and when he was released, there was rejoicing. In Luke 15, Jesus tells a parable about a shepherd finding one lost sheep from his flock and when he does, there is rejoicing. There is a better life, one where God’s power saves us from our hopelessness. As believers, we need to hold these truths about God firm. God has the power to pull us out of the lions’ den and we can rejoice, along with Him, that we are found again. God wants everyone to know him and to follow him. #Daniel #chaptersix #Luke #chapter15 #thereishope #Godisalwayspresent#Chainbreaker #JesusisourChainBreaker
