As we go through life, having been redeemed by Jesus, let us continually renew our minds to walking in that freedom, taking care to safeguard ourselves from distractions & danger.

Galatians 5:1 (ASV) For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.

This does not mean we should be afraid to build & develop the various gifts God has deposited in us, or to avail ourselves of the various treasures God has placed on the Earth. We are to do these with mindfulness.

There’s a maturing that comes, over time, which equips us to appropriately handle weighty matters.
