Unfortunately many are bound by past failures, and as a result feel that they can never succeed. There are those today bound by sin and think their situation is hopeless - so why try? I am reminded of the experiment done with the Great Northern Pike where the fish was placed into a tank with its favorite food..minnows. The problem was that a glass divider was inserted into the tank between the Pike and the minnows. Every time the Pike went for the minnows he bumped his nose into the glass divider. Finally, convinced that the minnows were beyond his reach, he gave up. When the divider was removed, the Pike did not go for even one minnow. Sometimes, we are like that Pike. We've been convinced that we could never break free from the patterns of defeat and failure that have bound us. But that is not true! There is freedom and forgiveness in Jesus Christ. Jesus came to break the chains of sin that bind us, to set us free and give us new life in Him.
