September 27

Sometimes, in the midst of your freedom, stuff will reach up and grab you. Sometimes, because we aren't perfect, our imperfections will snake up out of the ground and ensnare you and capture you. It is another of our imperfections.

A lot of the stuff we look at and view as harmless, really isn't. In actuality, it's not that it's harmful, it's that it could lead to harm. And that has to be dealt with in the context of freedom. Because freedom isn't free and it isn't easy. And though it is our heritage and it was what God purchased for us at the cost of His Son's life, it can be hard to maintain.

I guess that it's time to bow and turn to Him and ask for His grace and His wisdom to guide you. And at the end, if we perservere and stand strong in Him, the reward will be worth the effort. I guess that's the part where faith kicks in. If you know that you will stand in His presence, then it makes it much easier to humbly take on what has been placed in front of you.
