vs 12 … Just because something is technically legal doesn’t mean that it’s spiritually appropriate. If I went around doing whatever I thought I could get by with, I’d be a slave to my whims.
I love the law. When I was 4, I told my mom I wanted to be a lawyer. I worked very diligently towards that goal from a very young age. When I was in middle school, I found out I could join the Navy and be an attorney – thank you Tom Cruise!! But then, I found out because I had foot surgery, I wouldn’t be allowed to join any military force. That didn’t deter me from staying on my track to be a lawyer. Until my Senior year of high school, and I went on vacation to the University of Florida and realized that if I went to college right away, I would find myself totally crazed and wild and not actually getting an education. So, I waited a couple of years and ended up going to school to be a paralegal. I haven’t worked in a law firm for a couple of years, and there are days when I truly miss it.
But since I became a Christian, I’ve struggled with knowing what the law says and knowing what God says. Just because it’s legal, doesn’t make it right. But the good news is? If we follow God’s law, we will always be following the laws set forth by man.
