—Exodus 3:7-10
by: Margaret Taylor.
Suffering and oppression are not unique to any place, race, or generation. It comes to us through physical, financial, emotional, racial, religious, political, and other avenues. All these are encompassed in spiritual oppression. This world is enslaved and deceived by the powers of darkness. Slavery is just as real today as it was for the Israelites and it takes many forms. Television is filled with news of refugees fleeing persecution, with thousands finding no freedom. Some die from torture, sickness, exposure, and starvation. For the unsaved, the world is in bondage. But praise God, He has set us free, perfecting our faith as He leads us into the Kingdom of Light.
