Scripture
1 Corinthians 6:12 And even though “I am allowed to do anything,” I must not become a slave to anything.
Observation
Paul writes that the church in Corinth has indeed got the message that they are not under the law. But as he writes to the church in Rome, we are not to continue in sin that grace may abound. There is tremendous freedom found in Christ, but if we are not careful, that freedom can turn into slavery - bondage - just like we were before we met Christ. He references food and sexual sin.
Application
I do believe that on Feb 26th the Lord set me free from being addicted to food. I have now lost weight, and the grip of food is gone. However, I do see that I have the ability to become trapped again, if I present my body as a slave to food. I must not become a slave to anything. Audrey prayed for me last night that I would be able to continue to walk in the freedom whereby Christ has set me free. Today is Wednesday, and I choose again to start fasting lunches.
Prayer
Thank you Lord for the amazing freedom that you have given me - free in all things. Lord, please help me to not become again a slave to food. May I honor you in my body, the tabernacle of the Holy Spirit. Amen
