11 Thanks for Righteous Laws
Nobody really enjoys having to follow the
rules all of the time. Pay close attention
on the highway to how many people instinctively
hit their brakes when they see a police car,
regardless whether they are speeding or not.
Our defenses go up even if we are following the
law when we are around law enforcement.
Everyone is judged by the same standard, a
person is either breaking the law or they are
not. But what if the laws were
unrighteous? There are instances of race
being involved in arrest and public outcry is
justified in these instances.
God's laws are always right however.
They are applied evenly to everyone. But
what is even greater is that God's laws always
have our best intentions in mind. They are
designed to protect us, not take away our fun.
Unfortunately some people see God as a cosmic
killjoy who wants to ruin their good time.
But nothing could be further from the truth.
God's laws are there so that we may live life to
the fullest and experience all of the joy of
life.
Those who appear to find joy in breaking
God's laws quickly find themselves feeling empty
inside. Whatever joy they receive from the
moment quickly leaves them.
The joy that comes from knowing God and
following His righteous laws will not go away.
We can be very thankful for that. |
