FREEDOM

“….proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof:” Leviticus 25:10 (KJV)

“Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men,

but a right  that belongs to us by the laws of God and Nature.’

Benjamin Franklin

Father as we celebrate our freedom this week-end help us to remember that true freedom always has limits. And that when we violate those limits it ultimately results in the loss of freedom. You have instructed us to: “Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16 (ESV)

Also Father may we be mindful that this precious freedom was created by you and for the full benefit of the human race. Freedom has no ethnicity, nationality or human origin. You said to Adam: “…..You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden—¹⁷ except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.” Genesis 2:1r-17 (NLT) 

So Father we gratefully rejoice in the freedom You graciously gave us and ask You to help us to protect and preserve it for generations to come. We ask this in the name of Him who has freed us.

     ”…..So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.” John 8:36 (NLT)

Amen
