Faith's Check Book, Daily
Entry
C. H. Spurgeon
Immediate Freedom
For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and
will burst thy bonds in sunder. (Nahum 1:13)
The
Assyrian was allowed for a season to oppress the Lord's people, but there came
a time for his power to be broken. So, many a heart is held in bondage by Satan
and frets sorely under the yoke. Oh, that to such prisoners of hope the word of
the Lord may come at once, according to the text, "Now will I break his
yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder!"
See! The
Lord promises a present deliverance. "Now will I break his yoke from off
thee." Believe for immediate freedom, and according to thy faith so shall
it be unto thee at this very hour. When God saith "now," let no man
say "tomorrow."
See how
complete the rescue is to be; for the yoke is not to be removed but broken; and
the bonds are not to be untied but burst asunder. Here is a display of divine
force which guarantees that the oppressor shall not return. His yoke is broken,
we cannot again be bowed down by its weight. His bonds, are burst asunder, they
can no longer hold us. Oh, to believe in Jesus for complete and everlasting
emancipation! "If the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free
indeed." Come, Lord, and set free Thy captives, according to Thy Word.
