Freedom
Galatians 5:13(NASB)
13For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
Galatians 5:13(TMSG)
13It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that’s how freedom grows.
Sometimes we take our freedom for granted, not realizing it cost. A lot of times we want to complain about the way things are but we sit back and don't do anything about it. Our spiritual freedom from sin and death cost our Lord and Saviour, His life here on this earth. Our physical freedom cost men and women their lives on a daily basis. As we prepare for the holiday season I would like for us all to remember why we have the freedom's we have. We celebrate Thanksgiving in a few days, what are you truly thankful for, food on the table, a job, a home, family, church? The list could go on and on. I believe we should really take the time and be thankful for our freedom, there is a war not only in the physical world but also in our spiritual world. in that world we don't wrestle with flesh and blood but of unseen forces. Jesus paid the price for us to walk in freedom let us guard that freedom and not take it for granted, or use it to do wrong. In the busyness of the holiday season take some time and reflect on your freedom, then go serve someone with love and be a blessing, Sir Gregory
