Psalm 2- Freedom

God created us in a particular way with certain abilities and passions. We are free when we live our lives using the abilities and passions he gave us, not by following what the world tells us we should be doing.  We need to listen to God's voice and live by His will. If we fall slave to other voices we are not FREE

What does it mean to be free? 

to me, when this Psalm talks about being Free I imagine the feeling of freedom. The liberating feeling of overwhelming joy. I most closely associate that feeling with 2 memories in my life- 1 was riding a 4 wheeler in a field in Potter County, not having to stay on a road or avoid the bumps, just going as fast as I felt like and feeling the air rushing past me. and 2-the feeling of doing what I love and knowing that's what I'm meant to be doing. this happens frequently but most strongly at State band my Senior year with Peter Boonshaft. the music that ensemble made was unbelievable and we all felt it. to this day I can't listen to the recording of that concert without being moved to tears. 

I know that the feeling of freedom that came with those experiences is the same feeling I get when I sing to God. When I'm making music for Him or listening to music being made for Him I feel that same liberation. That same overwhelming joy. That's how I know that's God's will for me. He blessed me with the gift of music and when I use it for his Glory I get that freedom.

does that make sense? when you read Free does it mean something else to you?

~I pray we are all free in living for God, the way He created us to be~
