March 7
From Fetters Free

"The LORD looseth the prisoner" (Psalm 146:7).

He has done it. Remember Joseph, Israel in Egypt, Manasseh, Jeremiah, Peter,
and many others. He can do it still. He breaks the bars of brass with a word
and snaps the fetters of iron with a look. He is doing it. In a thousand places
troubled ones are coming forth to light and enlargement. Jesus still proclaims
the opening of the prison to them that are bound. At this moment doors are
flying back and fetters are dropping to the ground.

He will delight to set you free, dear friend, if at this time you are mourning
because of sorrow, doubt, and fear. It will be joy to Jesus to give you
liberty. It will give Him as great a pleasure to loose you as it will be a
pleasure to you to be loosed. No, you have not to snap the iron hand: the LORD
Himself will do it. Only trust Him, and He will be your Emancipator. Believe in
Him in spite of the stone walls or the manacles of iron. Satan cannot hold you,
sin cannot enchain you, even despair cannot bind you if you will now believe in
the LORD Jesus, in the freeness of His grace, and the fullness of His power to
save.

Defy the enemy, and let the word now before you be your song of deliverance;
"Jehovah looseth the prisoners."

Choice selections from Thomas Brooks

Our present sufferings

Such is the splendor, the brightness, the glory, the happiness, and
blessedness—which is reserved for the saints in heaven—that had I all the
tongues of men on earth, and all the excellencies of the angels in heaven—yet I
would not be able to conceive, nor to express that vision of glory to you! That
glory is inconceivable and inexpressible! It is best to be hastening there,
that we may feel and enjoy that which we shall never be able to declare!

All the troubles, afflictions, and sorrows of this life, in comparison with
eternal happiness and blessedness, are to be considered as nothing; they are
but as the point of a pin—compared to the starry heavens.

"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory
that will be revealed in us!" Romans 8:18
