Passover

Day 7

Free To Serve A Loving Master

"Then Adonai said to Moses, Go to Pharaoh and say to him: 'This is what Adonai says: Let My people go, so they may serve Me' " (Exodus 7:26)

When God called His people out of Egypt and into freedom, it wasn't to a freedom without purpose or parameters. He called them to be a people unto Himself. No longer would they serve Pharaoh who did not have their best interest at heart. God called them into freedom through serving, following, and worshipping Him. They were to serve God who had promised to give them a land for themselves that was good and abundant.

"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light" (Matthew 11: 29-30).

True freedom is that which creates an environment for us to live fully as we were designed. We have been designed to know and worship God, who is the only One deserving of our praise and devotion. The Apostle Paul wrote much about our freedom in Yeshua (Jesus) Messiah, yet he called himself His bondservant.

"But now, having been set free from sin and having become enslaved to God, you have your fruit resulting in holiness. And the outcome is eternal life" (Romans 6:22).

Paul, as we see here, seemed to have a clear understanding that serving God is freedom.

Let us thank God that it is He knows what true freedom is for us. Let us know that in serving and worshiping Him, we become free. Let us be ever grateful for His love, for He is a good Master, and He has put the protection of His Lordship over us.

We worship You, Yeshua. You are the perfect Lamb of God who purchased our freedom through Your death and Resurrection, and may we gladly and faithfully serve You all the days of our lives!
