None of us dream of growing up to be like everyone else. None of us wish of living in a neighborhood where every house looks the same. Yet, as we get older, it seems as though our culture is herding us all down the same path. Sometimes it is too much to bear and we need a breakaway. That is why people look forward to drinking on the weekends or watching the Razorbacks, because we all need a break from the routine.
Sometimes we confuse a breakaway with a running away. We run to our past to an old relationship, job, or place where we felt alive. Or we want to just get in our car and go. The truth is, a runaway is never really a solution because everywhere you go...there you are.
So how can we be content with where we are, where we aren't, and where we are going? This week I want to help you uncover a truth that can set you free.
Jesus put it this way, if you will abide in my teachings, if you will marinate in my word, then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Isn't that what we are all after...freedom from this world system.
I want to ask you what you are marinating in today? What are you abiding in? What is your foundation? Jesus says, if your foundation is he and his word...there is a breakaway there.
