I live in America, the “land of freedom”. I don’t take that freedom for granted—the ability to worship in peace and to live my personal life without government interference. However, the word “freedom” can take on a very selfish spin, of pursuing your own agenda and doing whatever you please all in the name of “freedom”.
Freedom is not meant to be abused like that.
Nor should we abuse the freedom God has given us as His daughters. He has given us freedom…but it’s not to be abused in pursing our own glory and selfish gain. It’s not to be used to pick and choose which commandments you “feel” like obeying.
Freedom is holy, and should be treated as such.
You have the freedom to pray, praise, and worship…you don’t have the freedom to break the rules and do your own thing instead. You have the freedom to worship in holiness and truth…not in false pretenses, dictated by culture.
You are free to move and free to express in the pursuit of more of Adonai’s heart.
Ask Him. Ask Adonai for more wisdom, more discernment, more help in knowing how to balance love and law, Torah and Yeshua. Ask Holy Spirit to guide you through the grace-filled field of freedom in a way that always puts Adonai first.
When you make freedom choices, may they always be putting God first…not yourself, or someone else.
The heart of freedom is the heart of intimacy with Adonai, of sharing your soul with Him and letting Him have His perfect way in your life. I pray you celebrate that kind of freedom in a million beautiful ways, every single day.
