Being free means liberated from bondage, from slavery. These days, freedom can also mean a host of other things. Being free can also mean having access to talent and to privileges such as material resources and technology. Being able to move and dwell within certain circles is also freedom. We can also count financial independence and the ability to structure our own time as freedom. Following Christ releases us from rituals and ceremonies that can weigh us down and prevent us from advancing God’s work.
Lord, we thank you for these modern amenities, which were not available to us before. Nowadays, we live in an age of ever increasng choices. Teach us to use these to glorify You and to advance Your purposes here on earth.
May these allow us to reach out to a greater number of people. This we pray for in Christ’s name. Amen.
You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.
- Galatians 2:13
