But the Lord is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.

—Ps 129:4

• Samson, the Old Testament judge, was bound with cords by his enemies after his deceitful wife, Delilah, discovered and divulged the secret to his great strength.

• Not all cords are physical. We are warned in the Bible about the unseen cords that seek to wrap themselves around us: “the sin that so easily entangles” (Heb 12:1b).

• Praise God, our cord-cutter. Through Jesus’ death on the cross, God has freed us from the binding power of sin, and now he helps us throw off everything that hinders us and the sin that so easily entangles.
