Today’s Scripture

Jeremiah 30:8, HCSB”I will break his yoke from your neck and tear off your chains…”

Today’s Word

We sometimes wonder why we can’t get ahead, why we can’t break an addiction, or why we can’t control our temper. It’s easy think, “I’ll never control my anger. I’ll never break this bad habit. I’ll never get ahead in my career.” But you were not created to be bound, whether by loneliness, by shame, or by negative words spoken over you.

Yes, there are forces trying to hold you back, but the forces for you are greater than the forces against you. No chain is too much for our God. No addiction is too great, no cancer too big, no enemy too powerful, no person too strong. God controls the universe. If God can’t break the chain, He’ll tear the whole thing off. The Scripture says you can run through a troop and leap over a wall. If God doesn’t remove the obstacle, don’t worry, He’ll take you over it. He knows how to get you to your destiny. Know Him as the One who tears off your chains.

Prayer for Today

Father, thank You that no chain is too much or too strong for You. Thank You that You did not create me to be bound by anything. I believe that You are tearing off the chains that have bound me, and I am free. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
