“I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to Your commandments.”
Psalm 119:45 (NLT)

DECEMBER 23 - No more hangovers; no more obnoxious blackouts; no more embarrassing D.U.I. convictions. Although a believer, the thirty-year-old accountant hadn’t been able to break the bondage of alcohol that had virtually devastated his life, leaving him near death about a year earlier. But now that he was genuinely liberated, he was determined to walk in that freedom, becoming accountable to the small group of recovering alcoholics with whom he had voluntarily joined. The group, devoted to the teachings and commandments of the Word of God, brought him to trust completely in heaven’s opinion instead of his own.

There is absolutely no freedom outside of the Word of God. The scripture tells us we are all born slaves to sin. Through our acceptance of what Jesus Christ did on the cross, we are set free from the bondage of sin.
Even though we have been set free, we still wonder how to walk in that freedom. It is one thing to be free, but walking in the fullness of that freedom, like the recovering alcoholic believer, is something completely different.

I am convinced that the most miserable man in the universe is the one who has been set free, yet has no idea how to walk it out. Yet, God gave us the knowledge we need to walk in the fullness of our redemption. We know David discovered it because of the words he penned, “I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to Your Word.” So many see that as information they already know, but to David, it was revelation that  transformed his life. David’s decision to devote himself to the Word of God enabled him to walk in the liberty that was rightfully his. It is of necessity that we commit ourselves to meditate on the Word of God every day.

Father, I thank You that my freedom lies within the pages of Your Word. I embrace what You say and exchange what I think for what You think.

“So Christ has really set us free. Now make sure that you stay free,
and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.”
Galatians 5:1 (NLT)

MARCH 2 - Tacky blood dribbled down his stolid face, dotting his muscular forearm with tiny scarlet points. Nonetheless, the strapping middleaged man did not flinch. His ear was now pierced, proof positive that
he rejected the freedom that was dutifully offered him. Biblical law uniquely required that his ear be pierced with an awl if, after six years of servitude, a slave refused to be liberated and decided to remain permanently
with his master. He made the decision inwardly, therefore, an outward sign was needed to demonstrate that decision to the world—he chose not to become free.

This principle must be totally understood in order for us to be freed spiritually, financially, emotionally, and physically. Freedom does not happen from the outside in, but from the inside out. God clearly called us to walk in this divine freedom. However, we cannot obtain true freedom unless we focus on changing what lies on the inside, before ever attempting to change what’s on the outside. Solomon wisely exhorts, “Above all else guard your heart, for from it spring the issues of life.” Then the apostle Paul states, “Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

God gave us His Word, the divine handbook of life. We are to fill our hearts and renew our minds with its substance. As we sow the seed of God’s Word into our minds, we experience the freedom Jesus purchased
for us on the cross. Jesus said, “Continue in My Word, and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” I desire to walk freely, and I believe you do too. Freedom begins with His Word.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I am free to live as Christ lived. I walk in freedom because I am changed from the inside. I have the truth, and the truth makes me free.
