June 13, 2005 8:06pm I was talking to Liz today, and she said that she had gone to the mall to get some clothes for school (and she is going on Sunday). I said, “Well, what’s the problem?” and she said, “I can’t wear them. I have morals. I always said to myself, ‘When I get outta this house, I’m gonna wear whatever I want.’, but I can’t.” I said, “It’s because you are a Christian.” She said, “Well, yeah...I’m in the mall now taking them back.” It got me to thinking, we, as Christians, can make as many plans as we want to, but that doesn’t mean that they will come to pass. While I was in Florida, I had AMPLE opportunity to go buck wild. I could have come back into the room at any time. I could have sleep in a room full of guys. I mean, the possibilities were endless. It all goes back to the well-known Proverb, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he gets old, he will not depart from it.” It’s so true. There are many things in my life that I have “planned” on doing. Sometimes we, as Christians, fail to remember that we do not belong to ourselves. God gave us His Spirit. We can only go so far with the “acting” out of our plans. Liz is 18 years old. She can pretty much do whatever she wants to do, except drink…but anyways, she has a lot of freedoms that she could take on, if she wanted to. The thing about it is that she CANNOT do anything she wants; because her conscience, which is from God, will tell her that what she is doing is wrong. We have limits. Life should be full of “good” limits so that we can enjoy it with good pleasure. Song of the Day: A Heart Like Mine- Bryan Duncan |
