Delighting in God’s Commandments!

Delighting in God’s Commandments!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who delight in your commandments. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights begins, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”

During recent decades, there has been an effort by secularists and atheists to remove God’s commandments from the public square.

Those in opposition to removal of the Ten Commandments, specifically, stand firm in the conviction that God’s commandments are part of America’s Judeo-Christian heritage and remain relevant today. Thus, they should be proudly displayed.

Psalm 112:1 (ESV) refers to those who delight in God’s commandments.

“Praise the Lord!
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who greatly delights in his commandments!”

Revisit the original Ten Commandments. A good online source is Bible Gateway, “Exodus 20.”

Rejoicing in Misdeeds?

Rejoicing in Misdeeds?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who do not rejoice in wrongdoing. In Jesus name, amen.

The lines between what is right and wrong should be clear.

Yet, today, it seems that the demarcation has become blurred. Scripture is full of examples of right and wrong including the Ten Commandments (See Exodus 20).

Apostle Paul when writing in 1 Corinthians 13:4-6 (ESV) says,

“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.”

Believers should not be confused. Love does not rejoice in past wrongdoing, so stop being a wrongdoer. Run from temptation. Don’t rejoice is misdeeds. Rather, do what is right!
