Exodus 6:1-8

Affliction is a combination of burden and bondage. The children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel spent over four hundred years in affliction of Egypt before God sent Moses to deliver them. Among many of the assurances of God when He sent Moses was in Exodus 3:17, ÒAnd I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.Ó Is there any situation that has taken a place of affliction in your life? Affliction: Burden- something that is emotionally difficult to bear or a source of great worry or stress, Bondage- the state of one who is bound as a slave or a state of subjection to a force or influence. Is there any way your situation is identified with affliction as defined here? Is the definition of affliction in line with what you are looking up to God to deliver you from? This is how God promised to help the children of Israel in Exodus 6:6, ÒTherefore say to the children of Israel: I am the LORD; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.Ó As the year runs out, ask God to bring you out from under every burden, ask Him to rescue you from their bondage and to redeem you. Pray the word; know about what you are asking God so that when you receive your breakthrough, you will know how to thank Him well enough for perfection to become yours.
