No Choice?!

I am discovering that in spite of me reorganizing my life to line up with my final 30 days there are a number of things that are out of my control.  Certainly the way people treat me or respond to me is out of my control.  I also realized that there are a number of my choices that are not really a choice at all.  There are things that I have to do during my final 30 days.  If I do not do these things I will limit my choices and goals in other areas of my life.  I have to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, drive the speed limit, brush my teeth and a number of other things.  You could argue that some of these things I don't have to do but as I said before, if I do not do these things they will limit my freedom in other areas of life.  I spent some time today reflecting on God's boundaries for my life.  When God says to do one thing in His Word or to avoid another He is actually providing me a path that leads to the MOST FREEDOM in my life.  

God's Word says If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.  Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.  John 8:31b-32 (NIV)

We are often resistant to the "requirements" that life, someone else and often God puts in our life.  The truth is that if we realize that these things ADD to even our final days will discover the LIFE that God has for us EACH DAY.
