God’s Law

^“Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may ^[b]prosper wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you^[c] shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.  Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” – Joshua 1:7-9

God told Joshua the above after His servant Moses died.    It was true then and it is true now!  One of the reasons God created these laws is because having created us, God knew what would help us to be happy and successful.

Let’s look at one example.  “Thou shall not kill”.  Killing doesn’t bring happiness to anyone.  Nor does it bring success.  But if we repent, Jesus forgives all. However, even if Jesus forgives us, we at times, find it difficult to forgive ourselves. And so the guilt and pain may stay with the “killer” long after Jesus has already forgiven them.

Yes, God does give us the “law” to teach us how to live a righteous life.  But part of the reason our Father teaches us how to live a righteous life is because He knows that it is a righteous life which will bring us happiness and success. 

Just as being with God, is all that we need ?.

Prepare, Watch & Pray.  Be Ready.  Our Time Is Coming…
