(6) “Therefore, say to the people of Israel: ‘I am the Lord. I will free you from your oppression and will rescue you from your slavery in Egypt. I will redeem you with a powerful arm and great acts of judgment. (7) I will claim you as My own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God Who has freed you from your oppression in Egypt. (8) I will bring you into the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as your very own possession. I am the Lord!’”
-- Exodus 6:6-8 (NLT)
Freedom from "Egypt's slavery" equals freedom from "Sin's rule".

We Pray Un-Rushed? He Redeems! Rewards!
If we will take time each day to withdraw from the distractions of our too busy lives and embrace an un-rushed season of honest communion with God, we will see the Wonder-working God we pray to redeem our lives. He will redeem at least these three areas:
(1) He will make what is seemingly obsolete or useless... usable.
(2) He will make what is surely irritable or restless... restful.
(3) He will make what is sadly barren or fruitless... fruitful.
Yes, my friends, Holy God has in store for those of us who will meet him un-rushed for regular communion in the secret chamber of prayer, a reward, yes indeed, a recompense for praying.
(5) When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. (6) But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
-- Matthew 6:5-6(NLT)
