"Love like this was never known,
Jesus dying for His own,
Just as the sun went down."

4th of July

Judges 17:2
And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my son.

Micah and his mother seemed to be good and moral, but they disobeyed God by following their own desires instead of doing what God wanted. The attitude in Micah’s day was this: "Everyone did as he saw fit" (Judges 17:6). This is similar to today’s attitudes. But God has given us standards. He has not left our conduct up to us and our opinions. We can avoid society’s low standards by taking God’s commands seriously and applying them to our life. Independence and self-reliance are positive traits, but only within the framework of God’s standards.

Luke 2:48
And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

Mary had to let go of her child and let him become a man, God’s Son. Fearful that she hadn’t been careful enough with this God-given child, she searched frantically for him. But she was looking for a boy, not the young man who was in the temple astounding the religious leaders with his questions. It is hard to let go of children that we have nurtured. It is both sweet and painful to see them become adults, but when the time comes to step back and let go, we must do so in spite of the hurt. Then they can soar to the heights God intended for them.

Have a great 4th of July, but remember to include God in it, thanking Him for our independence.
