“The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living.” Psalm 19:8 NLT
Have you ever been frustrated by unclear directions? GPS signal lost, Google maps playing up? This can be pretty common. But there is a confusion that brings heaviness and stress. We can feel very insecure when we don’t know our clear boundaries.
We need our Father’s loving boundaries to be safe and know real freedom. It is his boundaries, or commands, that actually brings joy to our hearts. The Father does not toy with us. He does not leave us guessing. His specific directions take us right where we need to go.
We can learn to love the safety that the Father’s commands bring. Don’t be fooled with the thought that no boundaries brings freedom. Independence actually brings heaviness and insecurity.
Find God’s clear directions in His Word. It’s all laid out for you. All the insights for living are found there. As you read the Bible today, find a command that God speaks and thank him for it. Then, follow his directions.
