Explanation

The word "Slavery", in Greek, is "Douleia" (δουλεία). It means bondage, the state of being entirely controlled by another.

Inspiration

Are you held prisoner by your fear? Does it have a grip on your life? Jesus promises freedom to those who are bound up.

Application for Today

  • Do not allow thoughts and the opinion of others to hold you prisoner. You were made for freedom, so today, walk in the freedom of Jesus.

Prayer

Father God, I thank you that you have set me free. Help me to live in your freedom today. In Jesus' name, Amen.
