God Alone Can Free Us

Readings:
Psalm 25
Ephesians 1:1-10

Focus:
Psalm 25:15: "My eyes are ever on the Lord, who alone can free my feet from the net."

Sometimes we are just in a real tangle. Everything seems to be going wrong. We need help.

We cannot get out of such circumstances without God. Our best efforts, and the best efforts of other people, will never give lasting relief. Perhaps the situation will improve; perhaps it will even seem like everything is fine. But our inner emotional well-being will not be entirely fine.

It is only when we turn our lives over to God and ask for his help that we can truly be free from the deepest troubles and sorrows. Outer things may not always be better, but inwardly, we will be free and happy.

It is God alone who can free our feet from the net.
