Psalm 119 says I will walk about in freedom,for I have sought out your precepts.
It's funny. So many times I've heard people say that God's word imposes boundaries on us, that it inhibits our fun, and that it's a list of a bunch "do not" phrases.
But the word of God actually does the opposite of this. It sets us free to "walk about" freely, it does protect us and hem us in but it's in order to protect us from evil, and it enhances our pleasure in life with a bunch of "do" phrases!
Do love the Lord with all your heart.
Do love your neighbor as yourself.
Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you.
Do give cheerfully.
Do pray for one another so that you may be healed.
Seeking God's word through reading it and doing what it says is the best way to experience life at its fullest, in complete freedom, and reap the benefits that come from living a life where we gain everything that is good, lasting, and true.
Are you walking about in freedom?
