I Shall Walk In Freedom

"I shall walk in freedom, for I have sought your precepts." (Psalm 119:45)
An essential element of joy is freedom. None of us would be happy if we were not free from what we hate and free for what we love.  And where do we will find the true freedom are? Psalm 119:45 says that, “?I shall walk in freedom, for I have sought your precepts.”   The Word of God frees us from smallness of mind (1 Kings 4:29) and from threatening confinements (Psalm 18:19).  Also Jesus says, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). The freedom he has in mind is freedom from the slavery of sin (verse 34). Or, to put it positively, it is freedom for holiness.  The promises of God’s grace provide the power that makes the demands of God’s holiness an experience of freedom rather than fear. Peter described the freeing power of God’s promises like this: “Through [his precious and very great promises] you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire” (2 Peter 1:4).  In other words, when we trust the promises of God, we sever the root of corruption by the power of a superior promise.  How crucial is the Word that breaks the power of counterfeit pleasures! And how vigilant we should be to light our paths and load our hearts with the Word of God!  Hallelujah, God bless
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105). 
“I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you” 
  (verse 11; cf. verse 9).
