Malachi 4:2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall.
If you have ever watched a calf leap around like a crazy animal than you can appreciate this verse. Really any animal that gets let out of it's cage or stall begins to do a little jigg upon release. There is something about freedom that gives way to joy and expression of that joy. Spiritual freedom should give us even more reason to celebrate, even more reason to be filled with joy. I know that the day I surrendered my life to Christ and sought forgiveness for my sin by accepting Christ sacrifice I was set free from my cage of sin. The freedom that has followed has been amazing. The joy that has followed is unmatched. Has it been easy? No there have been some very serious difficult times that have followed but the son of righteousness has always brought me through and given me even more reason to have joy. Today as I face whatever comes my way may I continue to fear the Lord and watch as He works out the details.
Father may I trust you in every situation. Thank you for setting me free through the sacrifice of Christ and allows me to experience a joy that cannot be matched apart from you.
