All Things May Be Lawful, But...
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“All things are
lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me,
but I will not be brought under the power of any.” 1 Corinthians 6:12
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
If you want to be a victor in the race God has for you, you
must learn the discipline of laying aside some weights. Many times these
weights are good things in our lives. But good things are bad things when they
keep us from doing the best things.
Life would be simple if it were a choice between good and
bad. But typically it’s a choice between good and best.
Our verse says “all things are not expedient.” When you think
of the word “expedient,” think of the word “expedition.” You are going
somewhere, and if something doesn’t speed you on your way, it’s excess baggage
and you need to get rid of it.
ACTION POINT:
Ask God, “Are there legitimate, lawful things in my life
that are keeping me from running the race You’ve given me?” If revealed, ask
for discipline to lay them aside!
