Freedom To Choose

We are given the freedom to choose when and how to worship and we have the liberty to choose what to eat or what to wear. We are not required to approach the Lord in a set way, once a year, through an earthly priesthood, to have our sins covered. We have the freedom to approach the throne at any time... for mercy to find help in time of need.
Let us rejoice in the liberty we have in Christ while learning to be considerate towards the needs and sensitivities of others. Let's recognize that there are actions and behaviors that may be OK for us while they are not for others. May we respect the choices and decisions of others who lack the freedom we enjoy in our lives and be careful not to judge others who, for some reason, are less in their faith.
"One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind."

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, how we praise and thank You for the freedom we have in Christ... that we are not under the restrictions of the Law but under the freedom of grace. We pray that we would make the choices in our lives that honor You in all we do. Help us to be mindful of the needs of others who may be weaker in the faith or do not enjoy the freedom and liberty we have in Him. Give us a sensitive spirit to the needs of others and keep us from any criticism of others who make different choices in the non-essentials of the  faith. Keep us low at the Cross and broken before You for His name's sake. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN.
