A Cage Called Freedom

One Simple Truth
Sin enslaves you in a cage called freedom.

Scripture
Numbers 11:5 ‭ESV‬‬ (Read the Full Chapter Here)
We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:

When Israel was led out of slavery in Egypt God began to provide a flour or meal like substance called manna. It was humble, but it was miraculous! After a year of this the people began to complain. They longed for the food that they had in Egypt as slaves. This is what the sinful human heart does. It forgets the generational cruelty of slavery with no end in sight, overshadowed by the luxury of delicious foods. If you serve the sinful nature, you may have a measure of enjoyment, but do not be deceived; its end is death. Sin enslaves you in a cage called freedom. Serve the Lord, be a slave to righteousness and your way may be humble, but it will be miraculously blessed and its end is life.

Prayer
Jesus, You have shown me the end of sin. Its way is deceitful and leads to death. Your way is clear and leads to life. I will follow Your way. Amen.
