Free To Choose

By Kay Heitsch

I'm trying to get back in the swing after eating Thanksgiving dinner and all the Christmas goodies. I know I need to stop eating party mix and get back to eating better.

"Discipline...doing what needs to be done even though you don't want to." Free To Choose Quotes ~

Today's Bible verse says, "You say, "I am allowed to do anything"--but not everything is good for you. And even though "I am allowed to do anything," I must not become a slave to anything." 1 Corinthians 6:12 NLT

I came across this Bible verse years ago. I love it! I am allowed to do whatever I want---but not everything is good for me! This goes for food, bad attitude, worry, and fear; the list is endless. The next part is priceless...I must not become a slave to anything! There ya go!

We are free to choose! But we are not free from the consequences!

I know that we won't like the outcome of being a slave to eating junk food, worrying, anger, etc. Even if we don't want to do something now, we can choose what is best for us in the long run.
