Freedom is Found
(Today is National Religious Freedom Day)
The dominant theme of Psalm 26 is the importance of maintaining integrity. Unfortunately in society today, there is so much misinformation. Leaders make promises even though they know they can’t keep these promises and it hurts a lot of people.
The actions and attitudes of a man of God should include being open to examination in the areas of obedience, praise, and on relying on His Word for overcoming the obstacles faced in life. Freedom is found when we lay our burdens down at the Cross.
No one is perfect but everyone can work on their actions and attitudes. When the majority of the people within a society are working toward this end, there are no limits. With God there is a freedom; a freedom that helps us live, give, and love. A freedom that will speak and teach; laying out a clear path that others can follow.
This day with You God, we ask for your help as we complain privately and praise You publically. Let us use gratitude as the password to Your presence. We are grateful for the freedom You give us in Christ. We pray for the ability to learn and apply the principles You give us in the Bible. Search inside our soul and clear out what shouldn’t be there. We trust in You Lord and we ask that others will see the qualities of Your character in us. Amen.
Mark Shields, Thanks for reading! This blog started from a small Bible Study group several years ago with just a few followers and now has grown beyond what I would have imagined. I’ve found it to be a great tool in my journey through the Bible and you, my readers are holding me accountable to daily Bible reading and study.

Yes, freedom is a divine, inherent right, achieved not through political struggle but through spiritual understanding and demonstration of man’s unity with God. John 8:32 reads: “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (NIV/ESV) , spoken by Jesus to those who believed in Him, promising spiritual liberation through His teachings and understanding of God’s Word.
Your friend- His servant,
