Jesus is the path to freedom. I have tried doing life my way and no longer enjoy the results. This “freedom” causes trouble because I cannot stop eating after I mess up. My eating has been better so I don’t want to overeat today just because it is the 4th of July.
Galatians 5:1 is, “Christ has liberated us to be free. Stand firm then and don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery.”
Holy Bible, Holman Christian Standard Bible, 2009
When I submit my “daily bread” or food I eat throughout a day to Jesus, my mind is free from excessive food noise. I am free to enjoy all food (even desserts I don’t eat all the time) when I follow God’s lead. He created me to enjoy what I eat. I will celebrate July 4th by surrendering the food I eat today. I will walk with Jesus in freedom today.
Happy July 4th to all who celebrate!!
