Live Freely
Today's Biblegateway passage reads in The Message translation:
"What you say goes, God, and stays, as permanent as the heavens. Your truth never goes out of fashion; it's as up-to-date as the earth when the sun comes up. Your Word and truth are dependable as ever; that's what you ordered-you set the earth going. If your revelation hadn't delighted me so, I would have given up when the hard times came. But I'll never forget the advice you gave me; you saved my life with those wise words." Psalm 119:93
We don't always want to hear truth do we? I laughed as I looked back to Kelly Minter's word on God's truth in her Nehemiah study.
"But whether God's truth is acting like familiar hands gently steering me in the way I should go or tapping me on the shoulder when I'm straying-or beating my buns, it is my anchor. It is my freedom."
My goddaughter is visiting and her husband is a major in the Army. She made two stoic comments.
One was that she had no clue how a military spouse existed day to day without a relationship to God.
The other was that there is a sense of freedom in being in the military in that you don't worry about where you will live next...they tell you! A huge thank you to those who sacrifice so much for our freedom.
What a marvelous parellel to living in Christ...there is freedom in looking to the Word for truth and seeing how we should live.
