Proverbs 11:6
6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous are taken captive by their lust.
We tend to associate fulfilling our lusts with freedom, wanting to be free to do what we want, think what we want, have what we want. But it is an illusion. The truth is that we become captive to our lusts, as it begins to control our choices, so that we become less free rather than more free. The truth is that we are never truly free because we are not God. So we either accept His limits or accept sin's limits.
Lord, help me to accept Your limits and find freedom in You.
