A Reminder

Scripture
Exodus 13:9 This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the law of the Lord is to be on your lips.

Observation
The Israelites were being freed from Egypt, and God wanted them to have a very specific time of observance of how he had freed them. A time to reflect on God's goodness and mercy.

Application
God has freed me from the bondage of sin, just as the Israelies were freed from the 430 years of slavery in Egypt. What do I do as an observance of my freedom? My giving Glory to the Lord for my redemption should be as obvious as a sign on my hand and a reminder on my forehead, so that each time I look down at my hand or see a reflection of my face, my lips should proclaim, "Glory to the Lord, he has freed me". So I need to continue to read the law of the Lord that shows his eternal mercy to me, and as I feed my soul, my soul will Praise in return.

Prayer
Father, Thank You for freeing me from sin. Before the blood of Christ, sin had me in bondage but you opened up the gates( just like letting loose a young lamb who was fenced in, then freed and then it runs and jumps in the tall grass) of your Kingdom and Yourself so I would be free to fellowship with you.
