Happy Independence Day! Now I'm willing to bet that almost every church in America had a sermon alluding to freedom from the bondage of sin, using July 4th as a springboard. And although I was totally expecting this, today's sermon really spoke directly to my heart.
A friend of mine actually, not my pastor, spoke at my church today. Kudos, dude. You did a great job!
There are things in my life that I need freedom from. But that freedom is lying there for the taking. Why don't I take it and cling to it!? It seems so absurd. Alluding to America; Men and Women died for the freedom we have today. We don't leave it there on the table and stare at it, we cling to it! But when it comes to spiritual freedom, we're either too scared, or comfortable, or blind to take that freedom. And that freedom came at an even higher cost; the Son of God!
So theres my rabbit trail. Now down to business.
Day 4: Deeds of God
Psalms 9, 18, 118
Psalm 9:9 - "The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble."
By now you're seeing a pattern in the verses I choose. Protection, refuge, etc. I apologize, thats one thing I'm really clinging to God for right now. It is one of the most important Deeds of God to me right now in life.
Psalm 18:3a - "I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise."
So many deeds and attributes of God are listed in this Psalm, but straight and to the point, He is worthy of praise.
In closing...If anyone does read this, please pray for me. I'm struggling with a couple things right now, and peace would be greatly welcomed. Goodnight =)
