Daily Bible Challenge: Day 607 Psalms Chapter 129

This chapter brings back some memories into my past. Not that I was oppressed from my youth but I remember distinctively when I chose a path with God while my peers were making bad choices. I remember being bullied. I remember feeling insecure and not liking myself. I remember feeling as if I had very few friends. Grade 7 through 10 were the worst years.

This chapter says Israel was oppressed but not overcome, and God set them free. God definitely did not let me be overcome by ridicule and God definitely sent me free from my insecurities and isolation. He's allowed me to blossom into the person I was designed to be, and I know he's not finished yet.

My life is only one testimony of so many Christian lives. God is working in people's lives all the time. People are being set free from addictions and emotional and mental disasters and scars. People are set free from the bondage of sin being transformed into lives that are productive for the kingdom of God.

The thing is, from birth God has designed us to be productive people for the kingdom by giving us certain gifts and talents. The sad thing is, Satan works hard to keep us from all God has for us. But when people are finally set free from the lies and deception of the world, it's then they are able to become who they were supposed to be from the beginning.

So I can't look at anyone as a lost cause. Nor should we. Everyone is a potential person that God can save and then transform for the kingdom. So may we pray for our unsaved loved ones, our unsaved friends, and even our unsaved enemies. God can do transforming miracles by setting people free.

And may we continue to pray for ourselves because even Christians get trapped into this thinking that they are not good enough to be used in mighty ways for the kingdom. God can transform every life. And I mean every life! Don't give up praying!
