Page 28 CHAPTER 2 FINDING LIBERTY IN A PARKING LOT Imagine a public parking lot, would you? Notice that a parking lot has boundaries. We know by the boundaries where the parking lot begins and where it ends. We know what is inside the parking lot and what is outside of it. The beauty of the parking lot is the freedom it displays. There are many choices within the parking lot. The drivers may freely choose between many parking spaces. So long as a parking space is not taken, nor reserved for specialized individuals, drivers may freely select the space in which they wish to park their car. Certainly, some choices may be wiser than others. If it is raining, it’s probably wiser and more advantageous to park in a space that is closer to the building than one that is far removed from it. On the other hand, many parking spaces are equally expedient. One is no better than the other. I want to probe the subject of God’s will a little deeper by
Every syllable of every statute, every clause of every commandment that ever proceeded from the mouth of God was divinely designed to bring those who would obey into the greatest imaginable happiness of heart. Don’t swallow God’s law like castor oil. For when you understand His intent, it will be like honey on your lips and sweetness to your soul.
