The people refused to enter the pleasant land,
for they wouldn’t believe his promise to care for them.
25Instead, they grumbled in their tents
and refused to obey the lord.
He even caused their captors
to treat them with kindness.
“lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
14He led them from the darkness and deepest gloom;
he snapped their chains.
Those who are wise will take all this to heart;
they will see in our history the faithful love of the lord.
Lord God, release me from my self imposed bondage. Help me to live in your truth, in your purpose for me. Help me to not be so arrogant in my ways and surrender to your way.
In Jesus name,
Amen
