"I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me."

Parents have rules for their young children, like "Don't drink what's under the cabinet," "Don't play in the street," "Don't walk out from behind parked cars," etc. God's direction is not meant to limit us but to keep us safe. His commands, whether we understand them or not, are for our safety and growth. Through them, we find life and sustain it. The Old Testament Law had many rules about cleanliness that made no sense at all until we learned about bacteria and viruses, thousands of years after they were written. God's commands kept the Israelites safe all these years, even though they didn't fully understand why God had given them these laws in the first place.
