Are You a Slave?

Do you remember a song that Grace Jones used to sing in 1985 called "Slave to the Rhythm"

? It was good! When that song started people would feel the beat and the rhythm and it would make you hit the dance floor. You truly were a slave to that song's rhythm.

But what else are we slaves to?

Could it be our jobs? Are you working 8+++ hours a day only to go home and start working on the computer? How about going into the office on the weekend just for "a couple of hours"? Do you have a company phone so your supervisor can have access to you 24 hours a day/7 days a week?

What about your children's activities? Are you slaves to them? Let's see, there are basketball, soccer, volleyball, football and softball practices and games. There are Drama Club and Drama Ministry rehearsals and plays. There are choir rehearsals and performances. There are Dance Ministry practices, performances and community service activities. There are Star Ministry meetings and community service activities. There's Friday Night Flip and BAM JAM. Then there are Rose Court meetings, pageants and a cotillion. Oh, that's just in my household.

What about the TELEVISION? C'mon now. How many of us break our necks to get home to see our favorite show(s)? How many times have you rearranged your schedule to see that latest reality show or game show? Did my boy get voted off this week? Is someone going to win one million dollars? Or, how about that drama that you are totally engrossed with? You always think you know who did it but you're wrong every week.

This is the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of being a slave. But there is one time when it is ALWAYS good to be a slave.

Romans 6:18 says And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

WOW! Now that's GOOD slavery!

Think about it. The Lord Jesus died on the cross for our sins so that we would be set free from sin. We don't have to live in bondage, we don't have to be depressed, we don't have to live in fear and we don't have to live defeated, beat down, busted, or empty.

Through Jesus we are victorious! We are slaves of righteousness; we are free from guilt; we are justifiable; we are morally right. We are EXCELLENT.

So when you think about slavery from now on, think about being slaves of righteousness.

So I ask you again; Are You a Slave?

Be Encouraged and Have a Great Day!

Are You a Slave?
