Keeping life free from….the list could be long. One of the best skills we can develop is the freedom to say no. When the pressure becomes great to say yes, we can respond with ‘what part of no don’t you understand?’ I’m at a point in life, since retirement, that I have been re-evaluating my commitments and habits. I’ve backed off from several things o thought might be worthwhile, but I’m not sure what I was thinking at the time. I am so grateful to not have been hooked by so many temptations earlier in life, yet they are ever present. If I surrendered to any of those idols, maximum collateral damage could happen instantly. Faithfulness and loyalty to our Lord become stronger when I realize how much He loves me and what He has planned.
