The LORD said, "I've chosen Abraham and his progeny to keep my ways by doing right and living out justice."
1 TIMOTHY 1:8 (CEV)
We know the Law is good, if it is used in the right way.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
If God's instructions are misapplied they can become toxic rather than life-giving.
DAILY FODDER
What are you doing to imrove your ability to accurately apply God's word? How do you know if it is misappled?
PRAYER
Glorious God, thank you for including me in Abraham's faith family and for sending your Son Jesus into the world to perfectly live out your law. I confess that I'm among those who have used your instructions to further my own self and agenda—without realizing it at the time. Reorient my life toward pursuing what is right and just in alignment with Jesus' interpretation of the law. He did it perfectly so I want to follow him. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
