Praising God For Independence Day But Knowing Our Freedom Is "In" Him .... We Are Not Called To Be Independent From Him .....

4th of July.   Today is the day we call "Independence Day".    Praise God for our freedom in Him.   Praise Him for what He has done to declair our freedom.     But understand .... you are free "in" Him but you were not created to be independent from Him.   Understand the word independent means to be free from outside control and not depending on another's authority.   It means to be self contained and self sufficient.    That we are not.       Outside of God .... we lack what we need in order to be survive.   He is our sufficiency.     He is our source.   

Today we praise God for freedom from bondage, freedom from slavery, and freedom from another man's control and we must also praise Him for our sufficiency in Him and Him alone.     For it is only in Him that we live, breathe, and have our being.    It is only in Him that we are healed, set free, and delivered.    It is not something that we have done or accomplished on our own.    Our freedom is in Him and Him alone.    

As you celebrate today .... celebrate it knowing that you are independent from the world but totally dependent on the Father.    Celebrate it knowing that your Father, your Creator, and your King has made you free "in" Him and that your sufficiency has and always will be in Him.    He has not left you to fend on your own.    Amen.....

Worship For Today ......
