Freedom from Captivity

Then the Lord your God will restore you from captivity, and have compassion on you…. –Deuteronomy 30:3 NASB

God longs to restore you from captivity to a place of intimacy with Him. True intimacy is complete trust. Do you feel free enough to trust God with your whole life, heart, and all of your burdens? If not, then you are bound and held captive in that area. If the answer is no in even one area, then something has you bound, and you are held captive to it. Examples of captivity are debt, addictions (including shopping, eating, working, approval, drugs, alcohol), anger, depression, etc. The timing of freedom is now. You will be restored when “you return to the Lord your God and obey Him with all your heart and soul” (Deuteronomy 30:2). Father God is constantly calling out to you. He beckons you to turn (or return) and have a relationship with Him. He says, “Call upon me and I will give you rest; you are my treasured possession; allow Me to carry your burdens, they are not too difficult for Me and, yes, I want them all” (Matthew 11:28; Deuteronomy 26:18; Psalm 68:19; Psalm 55:22). Freedom is simply turning and asking God to restore you. No need to worry; He’ll show you the way.
