Eph. 3:12 (NIV)
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
Freedom is something that we enjoy but never comes for free. Just as our service men and women worked and sacrificed for our political freedom, Jesus gave the ultimate sacrifice for our spiritual freedom. I remember growing up always wanting more freedom. Rules, restrictions, and reality all meant that freedom was impaired, at least that was the case in my teenage mind. I grew to hate the phrase "with freedom comes responsibility." We have freedom to come to God through faith in Christ but with that freedom comes responsibility. Freedom to talk to God means that we also have the responsibility to do so with respect. Freedom does not mean that we treat God as a peer or fail to show him the due honor. May we spend today freely approaching the throne of grace with confidence, showing God the honor and respect that He is due.

About Me
About "In the Daily"
Each week I will choose 1 chapter to read repeatedly every day. As I repeat it I will ask God to give me one verse from that chapter from which I can draw out one phrase. I will memorize that one phrase and from that, choose one key word. That key word will be written out in a thought, and meditated on throughout the daily.
