Psalm 32:9 Do not be like the horse or like the mule, Which have no understanding, Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, Else they will not come near you.
Being stubborn and not accepting God’s ways just because the world says so is not wise. We do not have to be controlled by the world or by mankind, we are free to choose to follow Christ and His ways.
The world continue to try and dictate how we should live our lives and governments try to control people to make their jobs easier or more profitable; we do not have to follow those ways.
God instructs us to keep the law and follow His ways because He knows His ways are best for us all. We do have a choice.
