Sabbath Sunday: Waving a Flag but Not Living Free

Each Sunday I share my own nature picture with a thought about God’s love for you.

July.

Growing up there was that summer car commercial that sang, “Baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet.”

July also is a month where freedom is a theme.

In my living room is a world map of countries hostile against true freedom. The freedom to read the Bible, attend a church where the good news of Jesus Christ can be shared without fear of arrest, beatings, acid attacks, and death.

Freedom.

There were a lot of summers where I had an American flag but I wasn’t free.

My sense of value came from alcohol.

What others said about me.

I stayed up night worrying about people liking me.

I would become physically ill anxious about possible rejection.

How about you? Do you wave an American flag but not feel very free?

It doesn’t have to be that way.

I find I stand the tallest when I’m on my knees in surrender to the One is the ultimate freedom giver.

Do you know Him?
