“I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel, but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be by compulsion but of your own accord.” (Philemon 1:13-14 ESV)
All,
This sticks out because “but of your own accord”. We all know God gave man free will, but do we think about the joy that comes when we decide that we WANT him to be in charge of everything we do. The joy that comes when knowing that His outcome is best no matter what I think is best at the time. Please pray that we “seek first the kingdom of God..” all day today. Please pray for our CLC Buckhead social tonight at Piedmont Driving Club.
