Psalm 119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek your precepts. Lawlessness, licence, is not liberty. True liberty is found only in obedience to proper restraint. A river finds liberty to flow only between banks; without these it would only spread out into a slimy, stagnant pool. Planets uncontrolled by laws would only bring wreck to themselves and the universe. The same law which fences us in fences others out; the restraints which regulate our liberty also ensure and protect us. It is the right kind of control and e cheerful obedience which make a freeman. (A. T. Pierson, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.WEB: I will walk in liberty, for I have sought your precepts. |
