I am Jehovah; I do not change.—Mal. 3:6.

 

The ransom has been paid permanently. (Heb. 9:24-26) It completely cancels the condemnation inherited from Adam. Thanks to Christ’s sacrifice, we are free from enslavement to this world under Satan’s control, and we no longer live in fear of death. (Heb. 2:14, 15) God’s promises are absolutely reliable. Just as his laws of creation never fail, Jehovah will never fail us. He does not change. Jehovah gives us far more than just the gift of life. He gives us his love. “We have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love.” (1 John 4:16) The whole earth will be made a paradise of exquisite delight, and everyone on earth will reflect God’s love. May we join our voices with those of God’s faithful heavenly creatures in saying: “Let the praise and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honor and the power and the strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen.”—Rev. 7:12. w17.02 2:16, 17

This made me think of a prisoner that has just been released from prison and is standing just outside the prison gate. He is out of prison but still in the same neighborhood waiting for a ride home.

 

We have been released but are still standing outside the prison waiting for our ride home...

You know what's interesting about the day's texts?

 

You can pick up a new days text at the beginning of the year ... and excitedly flick through it ... looking for key texts and NOTHING but NOTHING jumps out at you - yes lovely texts and scriptures but nothing one can read in to lol.

 

BUT, you do the day's text every day, in line with Jehovah's Spirit and the layers peel away like an onion with diamonds inside .. it's like Jehovah is speaking to you.

What does that teach me? Haha. Don't run ahead of the Chariot Mandi - you have to keep pace with it and THEN and only then will I see what Jehovah wants me to see.
