When You Know the Word of God, You're as Free as You Want to Be

When you know the Word of God, you're as free as you want to be.  Your footsteps are guided by

His love and his knowledge is for our protection because He is all-knowing.  When you know the

Word of God, patience will reside in your heart.  When you know the Word of God, you're as

free as you want to be because your actions and emotions circle around the Commandments of God.

(Deuteronomy 5:7-21). You shall have no other gods before me.  You shall not make for yourself an

idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

You shall not bow down to them or worship them: for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous

God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generations of those

who hate me but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my

commandments.  You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold

anyone guiltless who misuses his name.  Observe the Sabbath Day by keeping it holy, as the Lord

your God has commanded you. Six days

you shall labor and do all of your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God.  On it,

you shall not do any work, neither you nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant,

nor your ox, your donkey, or any of your animals, nor the alien within your gates:  so that your 

manservant and maidservant may rest as you do.  Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and

that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.  

Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath Day.  Honor your mother 

and your father, as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may

go well with you in the land that your God has given you.  You shall not murder.  You shall not 

commit adultery.  You shall not steal.  You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.  You shall not set your desire on your neighbor's house 

or land, his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.  

This freedom surpasses any freedom we could experience.  God's word is our protection.  That's why

we must follow his word (Fully Obey Laws Loyal of Wisdom).  When you know the Word of God,

you're as free as you want to be.  Knowledge is in God's Word.  Protection is in God's Word.  Love is

in God's Word.  Wisdom is in God's Word.  Strength is in God's Word.  Prosperity in God's Word.

Unity is in God's Word.  Favor is in God's Word.  Do we want any of these realities in our lives?

So let's whole-heartedly dive into the Word of God, because then, and only then, we will be 

as free as we want to be.

2 Samuel 6:12-23  Now King David was told the Lord has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark God: so David went down and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the city of David with rejoicing.   When those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.  David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before the Lord with all his might, while he and the entire house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets.  As the ark of the Lord was entering the city of David, Michal, daughter of Saul, watching from a window.  And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart.  They brought the ark of the Lord and
set it in its place inside the tent that David pitched for it, and David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the Lord.  After he had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and 
fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord Almighty.  Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates, and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women.  And all the people went to their homes.  When David returned home to bless his household, Michael, daughter of Saul, came out to meet him and said, "How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, disrobing in the sight of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar would!"  David said to Michal, "It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his household.  When he appointed me of the Lord's people of Israel- I will celebrate before the Lord.  I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes.  But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.  And Michal, daughter of Saul, had no children til the day of her death.
