I should not drink alcohol in front of an alcoholic
I should not eat meat in front of a vegetarian
I should not cuss in front of my friend who is easily offended
I should not wail with Lady Gaga while certain people are in the car
I should not discuss politics with my family
Yes, Lord - I submit.
Galatians
I must not allow a yoke of slavery to be placed upon me
I must not step outside of grace and into legalism
I must not cheapen the cross by living according to others wagging fingers or clicking tongues
I must never, never give anyone less than the Spirit control over me
I must never shut up about the change Love has wrought in my life
Yes, Lord - I submit.
So?
Where's the path?
What do I "shh" about to keep peace, and what do I scream from the rooftops? When do I sit and weep silently to myself and when do I get up and walk out? When do I sacrifice the small offense for the greater good, and when am I straining at a gnat but swallowing a camel? When do I submit, and when do I rebel?
Yahweh! Yahweh!
Take this heart and let it break.
Guide me... I have no idea what the answers are.
I surrender.
