But I think the Hebrew writer is not talking about a physical bondage here, but a mental bondage. Max Lucado in his book, Six Hours One Friday , discusses three areas of mental bondage that we can find ourselves in or perhaps you know of a neighbor or friend who may be suffering from these mental bondages. I get up, do basically the same things day after day, week after week. My children are following. They'll do basically the same thing day after day, week after week.
Cockroaches do the same thing.
We find ourselves in the bondage of futility. I blew it. I am wrong. No, forget that, I'm definitely losing ground. And the very thing I said I'd never do is exactly what I just did.
