Anger. Addictions. Comparison. Lust. Fear. All things that can be chains around a believer’s neck. Jesus meant it when He said that He has come to set the captive free. He even gives us some instructions—take His yoke, not ours. We cannot walk in freedom if we do not know how we are in bondage. It takes a measure of self-reflection and the help of the Holy Spirit to discover what holds a yoke around our neck. The three week break away from school pressures is the perfect time to delve into this. Pursue freedom—it is for you.
Challenge:
- Remember how you pursue going after a goal, may it be good grades, a job, et cetera? That intensity and focus you get? Well, with that as your base, pursue freedom. What does this look like for you?
- Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you things that may hold you in bondage.
- What does it mean to take Jesus’ yoke?
- We challenge you to really read into the scriptures listed below, meditate on them, and ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart.
Scripture:
Romans 8:20-21
2 Peter 2:19
