Do you remember being blindfolded as a kid and told to walk a certain direction. But to be careful to listen to the person guiding you or else you would crash into something. It's like that with God sometimes. God sees the whole big picture and He is guiding us through all of life's crazy troubles.
Check out this verse...
The LORD is more pleased when we do what is just and right than when we give him sacrifices.
SO WHAT?
I challenge you to begin listening to what God is telling you to do and do that. Don't get stuck in a routine of always doing the same things. Listen to God for the ways He may be trying to change your life and how you live.

Sons and Daughters
Read Galatians 5:1-22
Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a Yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:5-6 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
We are all sons and daughters of God and He sees us as righteous through Christ. We are not bound by the law but we choose to follow the law because we love Him. If we try to make our own religious plans and try to earn our way to Christ, we loose sight of what He really did for us.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
SO WHAT?
We as sons and daughters are all free from slavery but are called to have faith and honor Him with love. Love Him whole heartedly, seek after Him with all your passion. Make Him the desire of your heart. Love others as God loves others for this is the desire of His heart. We are not called to slavery but are called to faith and love. Through this we will not live by our own selfish desires trying to gain our freedom and live our lives for ourselves. Instead we live for the one who loves us the most and desire His plans for our lives. What He wants our lives to look like.
What are you living for, who are you living for? You are free by the grace of God.
