Free PeopleSample

Have you ever broken a rule because you thought the rule was keeping you from MORE freedom, only to find yourself LOSING freedom because you broke the rule? Maybe you lost phone privileges and your curfew was upped. Not fun, right? 

The funny thing about rules is that, even when it doesn’t feel like it, they actually lead to freedom. That’s exactly what the writer of this psalm says. When we live within the rules, boundaries, and guardrails that are helpful to us and helpful to the people around us, our lives are better—and with more freedom. 

Today, spend some time thinking about rules that you may have thought limited your freedom in the past. Now, think about how they might actually lead you to more freedom down the road.
