Today’s Devotional is titled:
Free, but Where Are You Headed?
“Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil…” – 1 Peter 2:16
A teenager just got their driver’s license. They felt completely free. But without knowing directions and ignoring traffic signs, they ended up crashing and injuring themselves. That’s what happens when we misunderstand freedom.
Jesus set us free from the chains of sin, but not so we could live aimlessly. Freedom in Christ doesn’t mean doing whatever we want. It’s a new opportunity to live in truth, something we couldn’t do while enslaved to sin.
The Israelites experienced something similar. After leaving Egypt, they felt free. But in the wilderness, many of them lived recklessly: grumbling, rebelling, even worshiping idols. As a result, they didn’t enter the Promised Land.
Freedom without direction will only lead us back into old chains, whether it’s sin, past habits, or worldly pressure. But freedom with Christ leads us into a greater calling.
What to Do:
1. Reflect: Does your life today reflect true freedom, or are you slipping back into old patterns?
2. Take one practical step today to live in truth. Small but real, like being honest or refusing to join in something you know is wrong.
