Independence?
The Lady holds a tablet. There is a date engraved. July 4, 1776. A memo that we saved. Within that page of History, we hold the American Rose. Pressed by weight of moments, the album now we close,
To mark the beginning of Mans finest striving, Wherein heroes, villains, and events were arriving, At a small town we call Philly, (Thats where we keep the bell.) To speak their piece, and start a war, and put them all through Hell.
It was a needed moment. We had to take our place, Among the giants of the earth, for Life stepped up the pace. We had to shoulder burdens, that no one else could bear, And send the finest of our land, to fix things over there.
The blood we shed has nourished the Freedom that we sowed, And gave the homeland back ten-fold, all debts that we had owed. Just to ensure survival of the plantings that we nourished. We went back for a second time, to make sure that it flourished.
We thought that we could take a break, and live a private life, Unburdened by the problems of the world and all its strife. But this small world kept shrinking, and our moat gives no protection, From enemies who should be friends, except for their infection.
Well need to cure their illness, whatever the cost may be, Or we will not enjoy the life we have, a life of liberty. Its not enough to shine a light beside the door, We have to go among them, and boost the yearnings of the poor.

Dangerous Freedom
Do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. Galatians 5:13
Freedom is dangerous in the hands of those who dont know how to use it. Thats why criminals are confined in prisons with barbed wire, steel bars, and concrete barriers. Or consider a campfire that is allowed to spread in a dry forest. It quickly becomes a blazing inferno. Unchecked freedom can create chaos.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the Christian life. Believers are free from the laws curse, its penalty, and its guilt-producing power. Fear, anxiety, and guilt are replaced by peace, forgiveness, and liberty. Who could be more free than one who is free in the depths of his soul? But here is where we often fail. We use freedoms luxury to live selfishly, or we claim ownership of what God has merely entrusted to us. We slip into patterns of self-indulgent living, especially in affluent societies.
The proper use of freedom is faith working through love to serve one another (Gal. 5:6,13). When we rely on the Spirit and expend our energies on loving God and helping others, the destructive works of the flesh will be restrained by God (vv.16-21). So lets always use our liberty to build up, not to tear down.
Like a raging fire, freedom without limits is dangerous. But when controlled, it is a blessing to all.
Christ came to give us liberty
By dying in our place;
Now with new freedom we are bound
To share His love and grace. D. De Haan
Freedom doesnt give us the right to do what we please, but to do what pleases God.
Bible in One Year:
Job 28-29; Acts 13:1-25
