I don’t want any reader of this blog to think that what I write each day is simply generated from the devotionals, etc that I use for my daily devotions. Yet, today I need to write again using the context of the message. Its focus is centered around what privileges God gave to us starting with Adam and Eve. God gave to Adam and Eve the entire garden of Eden for their delight. In that garden there was probably 100’s if not 1,000’s of trees from which they could eat. Only one was forbidden. We know the story from there.

One of Satan’s deceptions is to tempt us to think about what I can’t do rather than to take a look at all I can do. We can get so lost in the narrow view of “can’t” rather than the huge view of “can”. Until I was almost 60 years old I thought I can’t ever let the world know of my past and what it did to me. I’d never be accepted if they knew. Now, almost 14 years later I find such freedom with what I can do. Not only do I find great freedom, but the freedom also includes being able to serve God more fully.

I don’t know if any reader of this has something you’re facing where Satan has you bound, but, if so, I’d encourage you to take a step back and look at it from the can’t vs can and let God’s Light of Freedom shine into the situation. From there I believe we find the path for moving forward.
