Today is the Day

The world says today is the day. I find myself wondering what day? They say today I have gained maturity. They say today I have gained rights. They say today I am free. Somehow I feel in myself today I am as bound as ever. Today they say is a new mark, but I say yesterday was just as much a turning point in my life as today. I say that I am now bound when before I was free. I say that I will not, I will not stoop to the standards of the world because today I am a woman of God and not a woman of the world. They say  today I am responsible for my own actions, but I say yesterday I was too. I say because today the world says I an adult I am still a babe in Christ. I say my outlook is not that of the world because I am not of the world. I say today you must not be chained by the standards of the world. I say today that you must have the mind of Christ not the mind of the world. I say you must have the mind of Christ in the matters of clothing, in the matters of free time, in the matters of personal finance. You cannot have the mind of the world. Because today the world names me an adult does not take away the command to obey my parents, today also must not take away God's commands to you! Men and women of God can never be like men and women of the world. But I say today men and women of God can be made free from the standards of the world through obedience to the standards of God.
