The Law of the Lord when kept, brings peace and harmony. Based on ancient codes of conduct, the commandments were considered the basis for civilized society. Think about it. What would the world be like if there was no respect for authority, or life or truth? What if there was no way to stop anyone from taking away your property? How would you feel if every day, you walked down the street and were in danger of being killed and there was no law to convict the murderer? We need laws to protect us. We need laws to remind us of our responsibilities to one another and we need the commandments to remind us of our dependence on and responsibilities to God. If we want our hearts to rejoice, we need to recognize that God is in charge, not us. When we realize this, we are set free. Of course we have a responsibility to do God’s will, but it’s nice to know that we aren’t in control. Our responsibilities are set out in the 9 commandments that follow. Life is so much simpler if we just follow them. Stealing, lying, cheating, holding on to anger, destruction of property as well as reputations may bring a momentary benefit, but if you wouldn’t like to be on the receiving end, you shouldn’t be on the giving end either. Everything goes back to the Golden Rule. Our legal system keeps us safe, but the commandments are the root of all law and if we hold fast to them, we don’t have to worry about the rest.

Prayer: Lord, you have given us the rules for living a productive life. Give us the wisdom to follow your commandments. Amen.

Light Bible

Remember GOD is the one who gets the Glory, Praise, and Honor for all He does. Sharing struggles here is to only hope. 🙃 Jesus said, "I stand at the door and knock, and if anyone opens it, I will come in and sit with him" Jesus is already with you and whether those who see this stand with you, your trust is in Him along to heal, restore, and encourage. So, I ask that God in All His love and Mercy will help comfort all spoken about here to remove pain, restore health, and release worry. May His power in you by the Holy Spirit, Amen

God does not want you to guess, He wants you to know!
