Why Remain Captive
The Lord thy God will turn thy captivity. (Deuteronomy 30:3)
God's own people may sell themselves into captivity by sin. A very bitter fruit is this, of an exceeding
bitter root. What a bondage it is when the child of God is sold under sin, held in chains by Satan,
deprived of his liberty, robbed of his power in prayer and his delight in the Lord! Let us watch that we
come not into such bondage; but if this has already happened to us, let us by no means despair.
But we cannot be held in slavery forever. The Lord Jesus has paid too high a price for our redemption
to leave us in the enemy's hand. The way to freedom is, "Return unto the Lord thy God." Where we
first found salvation we shall find it again. At the foot of Christ's cross, confessing sin, we shall find
pardon and deliverance. Moreover, the Lord will have us obey His voice according to all that He has
commanded us, and we must do this with all our heart and all our soul, and then our captivity shall
end.
Often depression of spirit and great misery of soul are removed as soon as we quit our idols and bow
ourselves in obedience before the living God. We need not be captives. We may return to Zion's
citizenship, and that speedily. Lord, turn our captivity!
