Hoping everyone had a great 4th of July and a great day off. Before the break, we talked about your independence and your freedom. I made the statement that your freedom is just as important as your salvation. That statement was brought back to my attention this morning. So, when the fireworks went off did you let go of some things or did you just enjoy the celebration of our country?
Watching fireworks remind me of a lot of our life situations. Fireworks go up fast, make a lot of noise, then explode and disappear. Many of us handle life situations like fireworks and some behave like fireworks.. They come on us fast, make a lot of confusion and noise but soon explode and evaporate. The sad thing, we live a “fireworks” kind of life. The way we communicate to people when we are mad are like fireworks. The way we make love is like fireworks. Yes , our society just displays this image of fireworks in the bed and not meaningful long lasting relationships. The way we handle loss and disappointments are like fireworks. This is not God’s best.
Fireworks are an annual event. They were not meant to be a lifestyle habit. With the issues of life, we often operate just like a firework event. Now, we have been challenged to change and not let our personal fireworks control how we respond to life. If you are like fireworks, you can change. If your relationships are like fireworks , you can change. If your attitude is like fireworks you too can change. The only power fireworks has is when I light the fuse. If I don’t light the fuse, it will not be a show. You can adjust yourself and make a difference in your own life.
Romans 12:2
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
