Good morning! How are we faithing? It amazes me that I can miss God's Word and commandments when they are so evident. I must repent. I also see and hear people changing what God prescribes to things that seem to be man's logic. Studying the Word reveals God's precepts and laws. It also is clear that Jesus taught the law but also taught us how to deal with one another, how to love unconditionally. One verse that makes me pause is;
Mat_12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Gee whiz man, how many times have I called someone a "buffoon" or worse? How many times have I not shared Jesus when the opportunity presented itself? The questions I ask myself are to keep me focused on God and not man. Again, I must repent. The letters written in the new testament reveals how we must walk in obedience and love in this life. We miss the mark sometimes but Jesus' showed his love towards us while we were sinners and headed for hell. Jesus loved us unto death and whooped death while he was at it. People, let us not get caught up in the way mankind lives but in the way the Word shows us.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your Word that teaches all truth. Help us to remember; "legal in man's world does not mean legal in God's" Help us to be your sons and daughters and remember you forgave us thus we must act and live like we are forgiven. Bless this tired old man who seeks your face and bless those reading and searching too. In Jesus name, amen
