Bondage

I was reading my scriptures this morning and came across these verses in Mosiah 19.

19 And were it not for the interposition of their all-wise Creator, and this because of their sincere repentance, they must unavoidably remain in bondage until now.
20 But behold, he did deliver them because they did humble themselves before him; and because they cried mightily unto him he did deliver them out of bondage; and thus doth the Lord work with his power in all cases among the children of men, extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him.

I remember reading these verses back in the 90’s and determining that I needed to be delivered from bondage.

King Mosiah sets forth a pattern in these verses.  I believe they can be applied to spiritual bondage as well as temporal bondage.  I like how he says that the Lord did work his power IN ALL CASES among the children of men, extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him.


IN ALL CASES.  That is amazing to me.
