Scripture:
Psalm 23:1-2 - The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Proverbs 29:18 - Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Quote:
“But Elisabeth Elliot is more precise when she explains that ‘freedom and discipline have come to be regarded as mutually exclusive, when in fact freedom is not at all the opposite, but the final reward, of discipline.’”
