A Difficult Introspection

17 Now the Lord[a] is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17 ESV)

What keeps you from feeling free?

What keeps you from being free?

Freedom comes from only one place, and that is from God. We may have a lot of freedom’s here in America, but do we actually live our lives in freedom from sin? No, typically there is some thorn like Paul suffered from that keeps us from true freedom in the Spirit.

Consider your life and what might be keeping you from this Spiritual freedom. What are those sinful holdouts in your life that keep you shackled to your human nature and does not give the Spirit free rein in your life.

This may not be the type of introspection we like to do. It causes us to face the ugly truth of our lives and how we live them, but it is so necessary.

Reflect on: What might be keeping your Spirit tied down.
