The Kitchen Table Devotional
1 Corinthians 8 Day 3
But food will not commend us to God; we are neither the worse if we do not eat, nor the better if we do eat. 9 But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.
1 Corinthians 8:8-9
It’s not what you know but who you know that matters. Those who know Jesus enjoy the fruit of freedom. No more regulation for freedom but a relationship of freedom. And this freedom is first and foremost the freedom to love, God, self, and others. That love guides our thoughts, our tongue, and our touch. It’s no longer about what we like, but who we love. This freedom to love gives us to freedom to care about God, self, and those around us. Think about this: when it comes to people, possessions, and the pleasures of this life, we can’t enjoy what enslaves us. Live free!
