A man said something years ago that really put freedom on me.

 

He said there is a tension in scripture……that sometimes the scripture does not apply to what we are doing……

 

At first, I was skeptical…..The Word of God is the Word of God—NO NEGOTIATION.

 

I still believe that with all my heart—-but we must STILL WALK IN RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND FIND OUT WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.

 

And that is why we can read the word and say that some verses contradict each other.  This is not the case. It is simply The Tension Of Scripture.

 

Think about it:

  • Exodus 20 says to:  “Honor your mother and father”, but Jesus said in Mark 2 that “The Sabbath was made for man not man for the Sabbath.”
  • Exodus 20 says to:  “Honor The Sabbath and keep it holy”, but Jesus said in Luke 9 to “let the dead bury the dead” and told a man to go proclaim the Kingdom of God.
  • In Daniel 3 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stood before a King Nebuchadnezzar and boldly refused TO BOW DOWN, but in many verses God tells people to go into hiding.

 

The more I read about this, the more it makes sense and brings freedom.

 

There is a time to do one thing and there other times to do exactly the opposite.

 

This is not an excuse to disobey God….it is the simple fact that God has a time and place for everything…….and it is God’s time.

 

Is there a time when God has called you to stand up and oppose others for His Name’s sake?  YES.

 

Is there a time when you are called to sit and remain silent?  YES.

 

The bottom line is this:

 

DO WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.

 

When?  How?  What?

 

All of us have that question.

 

And the answer is this:

 

God Knows.

He knows your battles and He knows you.

Press in to Him and put Him above ALL that you hold dear.

Walk in freedom and know that you are forgiven when you mess it up.

Rejoice in the fact that you are free from the enemy for all eternity.

And, in response:

Do What You Are Supposed To Do
