A bit of a vacation from the blog. Not intentionally. I got wrapped up in 4th of July celebrations, and homework on the 3rd.
Today my message is freedom. After celebrating our countries independence, I was thinking about God giving us free will, to love him with all our hearts.
"Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own." John 7:17
"You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32
Some struggle with judgement, sin, and forgiveness. I too have my moments. I see this a choice to follow the father rather than rely on my own judgement in a situation. For I know the plans I have for you............... I will wait for you, and allow you to guide me, I will chose free will
(as part of a semester project I have to step out of my comfort zone each week and write about it. This week, I am not listening to my usual Christian music, so my song today is from Rush)
"Freewill" - Rush
There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance
A planet of play things
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
'The stars aren't aligned
Or the gods are malign...'
Blame is better to give than receive
[Chorus:]
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill
There are those who think
That they were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them
They weren't born in Lotusland
All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate
[Chorus]
Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet
[Chorus]
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance
A planet of play things
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
'The stars aren't aligned
Or the gods are malign...'
Blame is better to give than receive
[Chorus:]
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill
There are those who think
That they were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them
They weren't born in Lotusland
All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate
[Chorus]
Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet
[Chorus]
Each one of us has a path that is clear, we all gather our strength from somewhere, my help comes from the Lord.
