I like the scene painted in Ps124:7-8. v7 tells us that our souls can be caged like animals. It is possible for our souls not to be free. People think of their minds and souls as completely uninhibited, independent. It is clear from that line of thinking that they don't see the chains made to snare them. That trapper? Liar, of course. Love that what makes the soul free is not some exertion of power by the soul. Rather, the snare is broken, allowing us to escape. v8 tells us where that escape route came from. Our help is in His name. Not in Him, but in His name. In the characteristics that make Him who He says He is. In the power of His name, a name whose very speaking can cause liar's helpers to flee. John8 informs us very clearly that the truth shall make us free.
That snare not broken by us, be clear on that. A blood-stained cross knocked that lock to bits, know that.
