Freedom

“I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts.” (Psalm 119:45)

The Christian life is often compared to a walk. We are told to walk worthy of the one who has redeemed us. However, we can walk in fear or bondage or we can walk in freedom.

Enoch was a man who walked in freedom. In the short account of this man’s life we are told that he walked with God and God took him home without dying. Someone describe his walk with the Lord this way. One day God and Enoch were out walking together as they usually did each day but this day they had traveled too far so God said to Enoch, “It is late and it will be dark when you get back to your home. Why don’t you come home with me?” So God took Enoch home.

The prophet Amos asks the rhetorical question, “Can two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?” Amos 3:3

To walk with someone in whom you do not have agreement would not be freedom. However, to walk with a friend as Enoch did, we have freedom. We need to study and know the Word of God, His precepts, if we want to know how we can walk in freedom.
