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

NOVEMBER 16 - “As the scriptures hath said.” It was a customary phrase for Jesus—quoting the scriptures, bringing knowledge and freedom to the children of Israel. So always remember, there is 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 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.

God gave us the knowledge we need in order 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 utterly 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…and the same holds true for us. It is of necessity that we commit ourselves to meditate on the Word of God every day. In whatever area you may struggle, the freedom you desire lies within the pages of God’s holy Word.

Daily Confession

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. I am free and I reign over the sin that had me bound.

Your Relationship Quotient

After observing interpersonal relationships for over three decades, Dr. Robb Thompson made a remarkable discovery that he wants to share with you: Contrary to popular belief, the outcome of your life is not determined by your intelligence (IQ), your physical appearance/abilities (PQ), or your ability to manage your emotions (EQ). Your life is determined by your ability to link yourself with those who carry your future within them – your Relationship Quotient.

Using compelling personal examples, Dr. Thompson illustrates how his own life changed for the better only when he changed his relationships. He presents profound principles that will alter the course of your future, if applied – principles such as:

• In life, you decide your relationships; then your relationships decide your destiny.
• If you want to accurately predict a man’s future, just take a look at his present friends.
• Relationships are magnetic – pulling you closer to or driving you further away from your divine destiny.

Proverbs 13:20 says, “Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces” (Message). Are you ready to change your future? It’s time to raise your Relationship Quotient!
