All things
are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are
lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
1 Corinthians 6:12
Living under
grace instead of the law affords us the freedom to make choices.
Wisdom is crucial to our ability to make the right choices.
Without divine wisdom and direction from God concerning our
decisions we can find ourselves making wrong choices and
justifying them. Our freedom to choose does not always bring
freedom. It’s easy to become obsessed with our careers, our
homes, churches, even the things we do for fun and relaxation, to
the point that we no longer possess the freedom in those things
but instead they possess us. To truly enjoy and experience freedom
in Christ we desperately need to seek divine wisdom in making good
choices and maintaining a balance in all things.
Prayer
We thank you
Lord for the freedom we have received. Give us wisdom and
direction to make the right choices. Help us to make priorities
according to the things you desire, that we may truly enjoy the
freedom you have given, so that what we possess does not possess
us. Help us to find a perfect balance in all the things that we
do. In Jesus name, Amen.
