Why in the world would they get so pumped up about it? Because they are free. All around us we see people in bondage because they are in sin, and all they talk about is liberty. I should provide you with a warning, when you are actually free, the folks that aren’t so free will have difficulty with your being free. Her hubby is down there dancing and singing and roaring, and there’s Michal up in the second floor flat, scowling down on her partner. Both have to do with the issue of focus ; one is horizontal, and one is vertical. David’s eyes were on the Lord ; Michal’s eyes were on other folks.
First, the better you know where you stand with the Lord, the freer you may be.
When you do the homework, you find out where you stand with your Lord, and when you follow His plan, then you’re free. To some, you’ll be seen as independent—a maverick. But you will not care that much about public opinion either.
You can care generally about the Lord’s standpoint. There’s no liberty like the kind He provides. 2nd , the freer you are before the Lord, the more assured you’ll become. When you know where you stand, that’s real security. Knowing where you stand before the Lord leads to true liberty. Being free before the Lord, you may become assured, and that’s real security.
