—Psalm 119:41-56
by: Dorothy Noel.
The psalmist loved rules! He waited on God’s ordinances, kept His law, sought His precepts, delighted in His commandments, and sang His statues. Yet, in verse 45, the psalmist claimed to “walk at liberty.” While celebrating God’s law, he felt free. We often think that freedom means we get to do what we please, but here we see that our freedom in Christ means we are able to fully serve God’s laws because we recognize their goodness. Verse 41 reminds us that God’s salvation comes from His Word, so as we celebrate in our freedom from sin, we also celebrate the freedom to keep God’s laws found in His Word.
