I have posted numerous devotions over the past few days... feel free to try to keep up with my keen-ness to get the word out!
I personally never grow tired of hearing God's promises and his majesty... amongst the thickness of our world... with its suffering, its problems... so amongst it all... even on Mondays... we can choose NOT to have Monday-itis... we can... through God's freedom of Choice... decide to live out in the world, all the fruits of his Spirit. Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Humility, ... (i've missed a few...)...
May we remember this as we live out each day, for the One who ultimately knows our most intimate of needs... before we even ask!!
Im really looking forward to seeing you all Tuesday nite!
Till then, keep it real!

Freedom to Choose
Sunday, February 11, 2007
"We are people who have faith and are saved."
Hebrews 10:39
God honors us with the freedom to choose where we spend eternity.
And what an honor it is! In so many areas of life we have no choice. Think about it. You didn't choose your gender. You didn't choose your siblings. You didn't choose your race or place of birth.
Sometimes our lack of choices angers us. "It's not fair," we say. It's not fair that I was born in poverty or that I sing so poorly or that I run so slowly. But the scales of life were forever tipped on the side of fairness when God planted a tree in the Garden of Eden. All complaints were silenced when Adam and his descendants were given free will, the freedom to make whatever eternal choice we desire. Any injustice in this like offset by the honor of choosing our destiny in the next.www.maxlucado.com
