Darkness to Destiny: Unleashing God’s Power in a Dark World

DAY 2 OF 10

It's never too late to break free and make your way towards something better. Often shame holds us back and blinds us from any potential we might have once found in ourselves. It can be heavy and burdensome. But we often keep the chains of shame on despite having the key. Why do we do such a thing? Perhaps we think we don’t deserve anything else — that surely our chains are punishment for our past and we deserve to wallow in them. But the Bible says otherwise. When we think of breaking free from shame, we should remember the story in the Bible of King David. David messed up in multiple ways — committing adultery with a woman named Bathsheba. To break free from his shame, he decided to mask it by trying to get to what he believed to be the root of the problem — her husband, Uriah, who King David arranged to be killed to cover his tracks. However, despite this, David eventually broke free from his shame by acknowledging his sin and asking the Lord for forgiveness. He expressed deep remorse and begged for the mercy that only the Lord can provide. King David, because of this expression that he wished to break free from his shame, is told, “...The LORD also has put away your sin...” (2 Samuel 12:13, NKJV). The Bible says that we deserve joy and that we should be able to rejoice freely despite any past that might have hindered us once.
