II Cor. 3:17- Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
The forecast for America right now is not promising at all: a weak economy, jobless rates are off the hook, states are talking about cutting essential services, policing the world is just not working out, people are losing their homes at rates never seen before, etc… paper would fail me if I listed all the other day to day thing which are going on right here in the so called “land of the free.” While we do enjoy privileges and services other countries do not, the state of our nation is very questionable, and rightfully so!
It is more than comforting to know that whom the Son makes free, is free indeed (John 8:36)! Although we the believers are in this world, as it is with our Lord, we are not of this world (John 8:23). This world is not our source, and our currency is faith and not paper money. Our peace is not based on what we have, but to whom we belong (Phil. 4:7). Joy is not founded in the foundation of materialistic things, but in what pleases the Lord God (Neh. 8:10). So, walk into the presence of the Lord where the fullness of joy is (Ps. 16:11). Bask in what delights Him and watch how your faith, trust, confidence, and dependency soar like an eagle in a storm! Because surely! Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
