“Bring my soul out of prison.” There were stocks, chains, iron bars and gates, along with the guards. But God delivered His saints from their prisons. To name just a few: Joseph, Jeremiah, Peter, and Paul. But there is something worse than being held physically in prison, and that is for the soul to be imprisoned.
Thank God, David tells us the Lord can deliver us spiritually as well as physically. Many of us are held in the prison house of despair. We are confined to a cell that is dark and suffocating. There is no morning light or fresh air. There are no windows or doors for any hope of escape. It holds us with its icy embrace. It’s a castle of gloom—a castle of captivity.
But there is, “good tidings.” We are told Jesus came, “to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.” Dear ones, He can open the door of the cage that has held us for so long in captivity. Let us take the wings of faith and fly into the Heavenlies!
Fear not: the key He holds can open any door; it’s the Master Key.
